Junio,

Since git changed to creating the objects subdirectories "on demand", these are created 755 regardless of the user's umask. This is quite inconvenient in ("cvs style") team-shared repositories, which work great otherwise.

Didn't find any relevant discussion in the archives... I am not sure if this is by design. In any case it is something we could work around with a post-update hook on the server side (and I'd be happy to document).

cheers,
martin
