You can't. You *can* probably configure your operating system to do
that, however. Try setting the set-group-id (SGID) bit on all the
repository directories (chmod g+s); that will cause most Unix-like
systems to use BSD filesystem semantics (where the group of a new file
or directory comes from the parent directory rather than from the
current process) instead of System V filesystem semantics.
