If you already had the sgid bit, then wouldn't it force the creation to
also have the sgid bit? Or is it the problem that the final chmod
removes the bit that was already set?

I have it working with standard opensshd, so I'm not sure why it isn't
working for you. But it is definitely something that we want to support.

The only times I've found it to fail was when I was using rsync to push
my branches, which caused the remote end to take on the local
permissions, rather than the shared remote permissions.
