However, we do need something that is cross-platform, so we're also considering the classic "passwordsafe", and KeePassX (alpha).

team support in pass is not directly implemented but made possible by
using git distributed version control.  you can either use pass as a
wrapper for git via commands like these:

$ pass git init
$ pass git remote add <name of your teams shared git repo> <url to your teams shared git repo>
$ pass git status
$ pass git push
$ […]
$ pass git pull

"pass git init" converts your whole password store into a git
repository, which does not hinder its use as a normal pass store.

with "pass git push" you can push any commited changes you made to your
shared repo.
with "pass git pull" you can get any new changes made to the shared store.
note that the password store is a regular git repo, so you can even use
it without the wrapper if you like this better:

$ cd ~/.password-store

$ git init

$ #and so on…

hope that helps.
oh and if you came accross a documentation where you expected to find
this, then please write the documentation.  you are in a unique position
to do so now :)
