USB mounting automatically : users option?

[Alan E. Davis]

I have a git repository on a USB flash drive.  Two or more users (all of
them me, at this point) on various machines need to have read and write
permissions on this repository.  I have run into problems due to different
user numbers, as the owners and groups on the USB drive are numbers only,
unless originating on the machine the drive is mounted on.  I think this is
how it works.

I was given a formula to type into /etc/fstab to use the users option to
mount this flash drive; however, I don't know what order my various USB
storage devices are going to be plugged in.

Not knowing any better, I am thinking that the most direct approach may be
to use dbus or whatever does these things, to provide in some other way, so
that when the USB flash drive with a particular volume label will be mounted
with the "users" option.

Is this doable?

Thank you,

Alan
