I don't see why we shouldn't make file:// work if we can. And we can.

This might sort of work on savannah. But the idea of using a global
group readable/writable umask for all sftp access is a bad idea in
general. It would be especially bad on a system like my school's, where
everyone is in the same "undergrad" group by default.
I just can't consider ssh subsystem hacks to be a long term solution.

Right, I misinterpreted your question.
