I think this is probably a step forward, but I have to wonder how many
other files are in a similar situation (e.g., git-am state files, etc).
I think people generally haven't noticed because shared repositories are
generally about a shared bare rendezvous repo. So refs and objects are
important, but we don't expect people to commit.

So I don't have any real problem with this, but I suspect it's just the
tip of the iceberg. We might want something like:

  FILE *fopen_shared(const char *path, const char *mode)
  {
	FILE *ret = fopen(path, mode);
	if (!ret)
		return NULL;
	if (adjust_shared_perm(path)) {
		fclose(ret);
		return NULL;
	}
	return ret;
  }

but of course the hard part is auditing all of the existing fopen()
calls to see who needs to use it. :)
