Is there a predefined group for shareing source files.
In Debian we use *src* group for /var/lib/cvs so I add whoever will have permission.
Else, I'll just add it.
Sounds reasonable to me.
Shouldn't a so called group be by default in the system, at least when a VCS is installed?
Not really. Anyone can use a VCS. Why should they need to be in a particular group? That is a policy decision for your particular system. Example: at my workplace there are SVN and CVS repositories with _different_ groups to constrain access to particular project groups.
For your system you may well have a single group who uses the VCS, and then you need only one group. But you don't really need a group at all (for example, I have a few mercurial repositories at home wholly for me - no group is involved at all).
So a VCS shouldn't impose a group on the system. Make the group yourself, and set your own policy as you see fit.
