Is /pub/git/experimental set to be a shared repo?  What is the output
of:

    $ git --git-dir /pub/git/experimental config core.sharedRepository

It should report true.  If not, set that via:

>>>>     # Tell git the repository is shared
>>>>     $ git --git-dir /pub/git/experimental config core.sharedrepository true

Then check that you've set all the permissions as outlined below:

>>>>     # Set proper group ownership
>>>>     $ chgrp -R gitgroup /pub/git/expermental
>>>>

>>>>                           \( -perm /u+w -a ! -perm /g+w \) \
>>>>         xargs chmod g+w

Lastly, it's generally a good idea to only ever push to a 'bare'
repository, i.e. a repository that has no working directory associated
with it.  This isn't related to your permissions problem, but it is
something that can bite you later, so it's worth mentioning.  When you
create a remote repository, it should generally be done using either:

    $ git clone -q --bare some/git/url /path/to/new/repo.git
or
    $ git --git-dir /path/to/new/repo.git --bare init --shared=true

By convention, bare repositories end with .git.
