If you are going to have multiple users sharing a repository, generally
they should be in the same group and the core.sharedrepository config
option should be set (see "git help config", or the "shared" option to
git-init).

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.

Works fine for small teams...

ISTR this breaking here when someone on the team had a umask like 077 and 
was using file:// or ssh:// to push.  I tended up "fixing" things with a 
cronjob, (which is a bit of a hack) IIRC.
