Right.  That's not what I was talking about; I was talking about doing
the same thing for ownership.

If you consider that easier than using version control, then I can't
identify with your situation well enough to understand what's really
useful to you.  Maybe it would be easier for you to just run a cron
job that batters the permissions into the shape you want, no matter
what the users do.

Good luck.
