I notice that nobody has responded to your questions and a
couple of days have 
gone past, and whilst I am not sure I know enough to respond
correctly, I 
will do so to keep the thread alive so that perhaps someone
more 
knowledgeable than me can comment too.

It sounds as though you are setting up a central repository
type concept.  So 
why try and do the work of merging Linus' repository there? 
Why not clone 
from Linus in a local repository, merge in changes from this
common 
repository into your local repository and test, and when
happy push them back 
out to the common one?

Did you do a git-init-db --shared ?

does gate_keeper and yourself belong to the same group?
