Subject: Make the default directory permissions more lax.
X-Git-Tag: v0.99~918
X-Git-Url: http://git.tremily.us/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=cfd88e2b7a1a1d2b0f22173a5cc128adce7391e3;p=git.git

Make the default directory permissions more lax.

After all, if you want to not allow others to read your
stuff, set your "umask" appropriately or make sure the
parent directories aren't readable/executable.
