Re: Git and securing a repository

Most security in Git is handled by only pulling from sources you
trust, and never allowing someone to push stuff into a repository
you own.

Regarding that... is there a way to control the umask of a git clone 
independent of the actual umask of the user or directories inside the 
repository?  Ideally, on the server side?

That is, for sensitive repositories, I would like "git clone" to always 
clone that repository with 0700 permissions, so that the silly mistake 
of cloning a sensitive repository into a public directory and forgetting 
to restrict its permissions can be avoided completely.
