Re: Honor extractor's umask in git-tar-tree.

Is it? The only place umask is mentioned in the man-page is

              permissions

but if tar really does honor umask, then hey, that 0777/0666 is fine.

(Ahh, googling a bit more, it appears that "-p" is default for root, which 
explains why you'd need the "anti-flag").

Yeah, that assymetry is rather unfortunate.
