Allowing a group to access a master hg repo under linux

Hi all,

it looks as if it is fully sufficient just to set a repo "chmod g+w" to 
make it fully accessible by a group, even if the umask is set differently.

Am I right in my assumption that hg takes care of setting the correct 
permissions when multiple users access the repo?

I thought that a "chmod g+s" is necessary as well, but it does not seem 
so... Am I right?

Any comments from the list on this?

Regards,
Marko


P.S.: Had some trouble with this on debian running hg version 0.7 - which 
is (I admit) quite ancient. But I could not see any trouble on my suse 
running hg 1.0.
