Incidentally, most of this is only needed if you're dealing with a
repository that you've already created.  If you're initializing a new
repo you can skip most of it.

    $ git --git-dir /git/repo.git --bare init --shared=true
    $ chgrp -R gitgroup /git/repo.git

Then you can easily push things into it from an existing repo to add
content and git will handle the permissions.
