Digging deeper, I'm guessing you didn't initialize the repo using
--shared=group at all, so the permissions didn't get set right in the
first place, and I think setting that flag (which I managed to do) is
not enough to fix them.

I made a copy in ~nsiivola on common-lisp.net, and tried to fix the
permissions there, and while I think I got them right, I cannot
replace the main repository, nor can I fix its permissions as the
project directory itself is missing group write permissions, and the
public_html directory is missing group write and sticky bit.

As for asdf.git, I believe the correct permissions are as follows:

 For the directory and all subdirectories: dwrxrwsr-x (note the group
sticky bit)
 For files under objects/??/ and objects/pack/: -r--r--r--
 For files under hooks/, -rwxrwxr-x
 For all other files, including those under objects/info/: -rw-rw-r--

...and the group should be asdf everywhere, of course (it's currently
users on a few subdirectories.)

(I managed to fix the complete one push by accident, since I was
allowed to create *new* directories under objects/, and was able to
fix some of the permissions. Other than the messed up permissions and
ownerships, it looks healthy to me.)
