Right; specifically it's for newly created subdirectories of shared
directories, which we want to be owned by the same group as their
parent. That's the default on BSDs, and we have to set the setgid bit to
turn on that semantic only on other systems, e.g. on Linux.
81a24b52c1 (Do not use GUID on dir in git init --shared=all on FreeBSD)
introduced DIR_HAS_BSD_GROUP_SEMANTICS with the rationale that setting
setgid on directories may not even be allowed for normal users. I can't
reproduce this (t1301 succeeds for me on FreeBSD 10.3 even without that
build flag), but apparently at least in some configurations it's not just
a cosmetic issue.
The skipped test 'init in long base path' in t0001 is a different kettle
of fish. getcwd(3) on OpenBSD respects permissions on the parent
directories up to root. E.g. after "chmod 711 /home" normal users would
get EACCES when they'd call getcwd(3) in their homes there, while e.g.
on Linux and FreeBSD they'd successfully get their current working dir.
