Subject: git-clone ignores umask for working tree
Message-ID: <CALxABCZn5W-cEQ9PS+4XoqhH7L+5P3KN==_RrcruK+oKdijmWw@mail.gmail.com>

Hi list,

when git-clone was built in, its treatment of umask has changed: the shell
version respected umask for newly created directories by using plain mkdir(1),
and the builtin version just uses mkdir(work_tree, 0755).

Is it intentional?

This Stackoverflow question is what got me interested:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10637416/git-clone-respects-umask-except-for-top-level-project-directory

and might provide a credible use case.

Regards,
Alex
