Thanks. Yes, the repository is shared by several people, and in geographically different locations, ssh-ing to the same host, under different groups. So your recommendation would be to use --shared. But this won't work so well out in the wild will it? Meaning, what if people's accounts are NOT under the same group that is? It would sound to me like in general, when one goes to production with a git environment that some sort of chrooted account is preferable if not highly recommended?
