It's similar to how svn permissions work now.  You have a path regex 
inside the repository, and a list of users/groups that have add, remove, 
and/or update permissions (it can be none, all, or some of those 3). 
With git there's also a regex for the refname.

You can poke around in /etc/svn/svnperms.conf on mocha to get an idea of 
how it works.  The conf file for git will be almost the same.
