CGI and filesystem permissions

Hi.

I'm serving a Mercurial repository via CGI.

The problem is that the repository is owned by user A, and the HTTP 
server runs as user B.

The repository data files have 644 permission bits, so even if user B is 
in the A group, the CGI does not have write access to the repository 
data files.


How should I solve the problem?


Thanks  Manlio Perillo
