Not really. Anyone can use a VCS. Why should they need to be in a particular
group? That is a policy decision for your particular system.  Example: at my
workplace there are SVN and CVS repositories with _different_ groups to
constrain access to particular project groups.

For your system you may well have a single group who uses the VCS, and
then you need only one group. But you don't really need a group at all
(for example, I have a few mercurial repositories at home wholly for me
- no group is involved at all).

So a VCS shouldn't impose a group on the system. Make the group
yourself, and set your own policy as you see fit.
