Files in the repository will be created on the assumption that the
repository is owned by one *user*, not by multiple users in a group.

The customary solution to this is to have the "central repository"
owned by a user account created explicitly for this purpose, and have
every person's commits go via that user. Sometimes that common account
is mediated via the Patch Queue Manager (PQM) program.
