This option is typically +used when you have multiple users sharing a single checked out source +tree, allowing them to operate their shells with a less dangerous umask. +To use this feature, create a directory to hold the checked-out source +tree, set it to a private group, and set up the directory such that +files created under it inherit the group id of the directory. This occurs +automatically with FreeBSD. With SysV you must typically set the SGID bit +on the directory. The users who are to share the checked out tree must +be placed in that group. Note that the sharing of a single checked-out +source tree is very different from giving several users access to a common +CVS repository.
