This change adds $GIT_DIR/umask to contain a single line, an integer
which will be fed to umask(). This should also work for the git daemon,
which I personally do not use, so this may be inappropriate.

Shouldn't it be done rather via $GIT_DIR/config file, and 
git-repo-config? I.e. instead of adding new file to repository layout,
$GIT_DIR/umask, add core.umask to git configuration?

The essence of the thread: If you want to do anything useful in a non-bare 
repository, you are likely using other tools than git, which do not 
interpret core.umask or $GIT_DIR/umask.

If you use a bare repository, just make it shared. No need for an umask.

Hth,
