it's easy on the full repository case, create different groups and
share git repositories by groups, after that chmod o-rwx -R

Thanks.  I'll admit what you describe is somewhat discouraging, as what
you are just describing is just managing user accounts or groups on the
underlying OS.  That does not extend well to placing code on the net and
has a bunch of administrative headaches.

I was really looking for a permission based system that was part of git
itself (and thus more portable and easier to admin), and not the OS.
Something akin to what perforce or even CVS can do.

You can do arbitrarily-fine-grained authentication via the pre-receive hook.
