"core.sharedRepository = 0mode" was changed to set, not loosen, the
repository permissions.

@ -54,15 +54,21 @@ is given:
- 'group' (or 'true'): Make the repository group-writable, (and g+sx, since
the git group may be not the primary group of all users).
This is used to loosen the permissions of an otherwise safe umask(2) value.
Note that the umask still applies to the other permission bits (e.g. if
umask is '0022', using 'group' will not remove read privileges from other
(non-group) users). See '0xxx' for how to exactly specify the repository
permissions.
- 'all' (or 'world' or 'everybody'): Same as 'group', but make the repository
readable by all users.
- '0xxx': '0xxx' is an octal number and each file will have mode '0xxx'
Any option except 'umask' can be set using this option. '0xxx' will
override users umask(2) value, and thus, users with a safe umask (0077)
can use this option. '0640' will create a repository which is group-readable
but not writable. '0660' is equivalent to 'group'.
- '0xxx': '0xxx' is an octal number and each file will have mode '0xxx'.
'0xxx' will override users' umask(2) value (and not only loosen permissions
as 'group' and 'all' does). '0640' will create a repository which is
group-readable, but not group-writable or accessible to others. '0660' will
create a repo that is readable and writable to the current user and group,
but inaccessible to others.
By default, the configuration flag receive.denyNonFastForwards is enabled
in shared repositories, so that you cannot force a non fast-forwarding push
