The operating system. On BSD Unix (where CVS grew up), the directory
would inherit the ownership and permissions of its parent directory. On
AT&T Unix, it would be owned by the user that created it and have
his/her default permissions. On Linux (and other hybrid systems), you
get AT&T behavior by default, but can get BSD behavior by setting the
sgid bit on the parent directory.
