Description

Would be great if we could specify secondary groups as 3rd to nth arguments in the user directive of conf files.
This would use setgroups() I suppose.

Worker processes calls initgroups(user, group) so you can add the user to required groups.

Strange, I used "User http http" and "http" user has "http" as primary group and "git" as secondary group but with this config nginx couldn't read files with permissions git:git - rwxr-xr-x

I will try again.
