Hmph.

I have 002 as umask. .git/objects or .git/objects/[0-9a-f]{2}
directories are created 0775 for me.

Do we have hardcoded 0755 that we need to change to 0777
somewhere?  sha1_file.c::safe_create_leading_directories() is
the primary code that creates directories lazily, and we mkdir
with 0777 there.
