The term 'shared' used here is in the same context with git init.
Unfortunately the 'shared' option has been taken, so I took the "perm"
as a place holder in this patch. Any comments?

+--perm[={false|true|umask|group|all|world|everybody|0xxx}]::
+
+Specify that the git repository is to be shared amongst several users. This
+allows users belonging to the same group to push into that
+repository. When specified, the config variable "core.sharedRepository" is
+set so that files and directories under `$GIT_DIR` are created with the
+requested permissions. When not specified, git will use permissions reported
+by umask(2).
+
+The option can have the following values, defaulting to 'group' if no value
+is given:
+
+ - 'umask' (or 'false'): Use permissions reported by umask(2). The default,
+ when `--perm` is not specified.
+
+ - 'group' (or 'true'): Make the repository group-writable, (and g+sx, since
+ the git group may be not the primary group of all users).
+ This is used to loosen the permissions of an otherwise safe umask(2) value.
+ Note that the umask still applies to the other permission bits (e.g. if
+ umask is '0022', using 'group' will not remove read privileges from other
+ (non-group) users). See '0xxx' for how to exactly specify the repository
+ permissions.
+
+ - 'all' (or 'world' or 'everybody'): Same as 'group', but make the repository
+ readable by all users.
+
+ - '0xxx': '0xxx' is an octal number and each file will have mode '0xxx'.
+ '0xxx' will override users' umask(2) value (and not only loosen permissions
+ as 'group' and 'all' does). '0640' will create a repository which is
+ group-readable, but not group-writable or accessible to others. '0660' will
+ create a repo that is readable and writable to the current user and group,
+ but inaccessible to others.
+
+By default, the configuration flag receive.denyNonFastForwards is enabled
+in shared repositories, so that you cannot force a non fast-forwarding push
+into it.
