bzr & unix permissions on the .bzr contexts.

Thank you for the speedy reply.

Does it mean, that in my scenario:
     User1 <---> Server <--->User2.

If User1 takes an extra action, and explicitly specified 'rwxrwx---'
permission to .bzr directory BEFORE he makes the push to the server,
then on the server the permissions will be OK, to let the second user
to push later?

So, in other words, if on server, I force the permission to be
'rwxrwx___' both on directories AND on files, there is no harm, right?

( The reason I'm re-asking -- 'chmod -R g+w .bzr' looks for me a bit
shorter /faster then:
"...
>  find .bzr -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 2770
>  chown -R .group .bzr
...
"

Thanks,
Michael.
