Re: Producing tar file with 666/777 permissions

Dear GIT people,

How do I package a git repository in a tar file with 666 and 777
embedded permissions?  There's evidently some way to do it because the
Linux kernel source packages have 666 and 777 embedded permissions, but
git-tar-tree gives me a tar file with 644 and 755 permissions and
there's no obvious way to tell it to do otherwise.

Ouch, thanks for reporting this.  You have spotted a recent
regression.
