The files in /h/w/common/php-master are automatically updated via the wmf-beta-autoupdate script which runs as user mwdeploy, group mwdeploy. Whenever an operator wants to manually update the files he faces permissions issue since we are not members of the mwdeploy group. I guess the easiest would be that the mwdeploy user primary group get changed to "svn" just like labs operators.
Marking as a duplicate of bug 40983 which is about the beta autoupdater lacking permissions. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 40983 ***
