My question was about the "o=" part.  I did not see you dropping bits for
others in your patch.

And if your answer is "the user should have xx7 umask", that defeats the
whole point of your patch, as you are trying to dissociate the umask used
by the user for his usual task and enforce particular permission policy
for the repository.
