Thanks.  I'll admit what you describe is somewhat discouraging, as what 
you are just describing is just managing user accounts or groups on the 
underlying OS.  That does not extend well to placing code on the net and 
has a bunch of administrative headaches.

I was really looking for a permission based system that was part of git 
itself (and thus more portable and easier to admin), and not the OS. 
Something akin to what perforce or even CVS can do.
