That's kinda what I'm trying. I did a git-init --shared=group and found that it set:

	[core]
~        	repositoryformatversion = 0
~        	filemode = true
~        	bare = false
~        	logallrefupdates = true
~        	sharedrepository = 1

[receive]
~ denyNonFastforwards = true

So I looked int the meaning of these config prams and thought I tried adding:

sharedrepository = 1

denyNonFastforwards = true

to the bare repo on the git server. I'm not sure if existing repo that have been cloned will have to be updated, hopefully not.

You would at least make sure the directories there that was created while the repository was misconfigured can be writable by group members (i.e. permissions no stricter than drwxrws---) and owned by the group. Something like

mode=2775 ;# 2770 if closed to non-members chgrp -R $group $GIT_DIR
find $GIT_DIR -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod $mode
