I'm creating git repositories, ldap accounts and ldap groups using PHP application. Everything works fine, but I have a problem to set right permissions to git repositories. Every ldap user is a member of some ldap group, so I want to change group on git repository (regular directory) to specific ldap group. The problem is, that user www-data can't change group to any other he is not member of. How can I change group after creating directory under apache/www-data user?

www-data@server:/home/git$ mkdir repo.git
www-data@server:/home/git$ chgrp mygroup repo.git
chgrp: changing group of `repo.git/': Operation not permitted

You either need to make www-data a member of mygroup or use the superuser account to make the change. In either case, you'll need root access or somebody with root access to help you.
