If you're not worried about the finer-grained access control
that acl(5) gives you, just do what "git init
--shared=group" does:

   git config core.sharedrepository 1 # as mentioned above
   chmod g+ws .git

Now set the group to something (I use "gitpushers" ;-)

   chgrp -R gitpushers .git

amd make sure all your users are part of that group.

We also plan to do it in this way, just a small wondering that it
looks a kind of workaround instead of a more graceful solution.

I wouldn't consider it a workaround.  It uses normal Unix
permissions the way they were designed to, including setgid
for directories.

Actually, I am yet to come up with a situation where I
actually needed ACLs, though they are more generalised, and
fine-grained.

And the maint is all eminently scriptable.
