Re: SV: file access

[Donald Sharp]

Ways to get around this:

1)  Before you edit and checkin a file do a newgrp admin.  This will
change your group to the correct thing.

-or-

2)  Make directories in the repository setgid to the correct group.  This
should force all files in the directory to have the correct group.
