.SH "DESCRIPTION"

+.TP

+
.TP
\-f

merge\&.summary

showbranch\&.default
The default set of branches for \fBgit\-show\-branch\fR(1)\&. See \fBgit\-show\-branch\fR(1)\&.
+.TP
+tar\&.umask
+By default, sets file and directories modes to 0666 or 0777\&. While this is both useful and acceptable for projects such as the Linux Kernel, it might be excessive for other projects\&. With this variable, it becomes possible to tell to apply a specific umask to the modes above\&. The special value "user" indicates that the user's current umask will be used\&. This should be enough for most projects, as it will lead to the same permissions as would use\&. The default value remains 0, which means world read\-write\&.
+
.TP
user\&.email
Your email address to be recorded in any newly created commits\&. Can be overridden by the \fIGIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL\fR and \fIGIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL\fR environment variables\&. See \fBgit\-commit\-tree\fR(1)\&.
\-\-remote=<repo>
Instead of making a tar archive from local repository, retrieve a tar archive from a remote repository\&.
+.SH "CONFIGURATION"
+
+
+By default, file and directories modes are set to 0666 or 0777\&. It is possible to change this by setting the "umask" variable in the repository configuration as follows :
+
+.nf
+umask = 002 ;# group friendly
+.fi
+
+
+The special umask value "user" indicates that the user's current umask will be used instead\&. The default value remains 0, which means world readable/writable files and directories\&.
