Ok, so in an attempt to get around our reliance on the

Turns out I didn't know everything. Looks like this only works if a
given person is the owner of the file. Eduardo ran into an error with
this, and I can't figure out why it fails for him, but not for me... I
am in the wheel group, but not actively using sudo powers...
I'm confused. Does anyone know a better way to ensure g+w permissions
when we do this stuff? How does git maintain permissions when the repo
is set to shared? Would it be better to adjust the umask in the
dbscripts?
Thoughts and opinions would be appreciated.
Sounds like a place where we should use ACLs. Though somewhat annoying
to set up, they let you do exactly what it sounds like we want.
