I agree the setting should not be limited to git-shell, but I do
not think setting "umask" from git configuration is the right
way either.  For files and directories under $GIT_DIR, maybe
imposing the policy git configuration file has is OK, but I
think honoring the user's umask is the right thing for working
tree files.
