[Gnu-arch-users] umask and permissions

Hi, all.

I'd like to configure things such that when I update my archive, the new
update in the archive has the flags rwxrwx---, or even rwxrws---. I've
got my umask on my work machine to be 007, and the same on the archive
machine, but I'm getting rwxr-s---.

Can anyone suggest anything? This may sound offtopic, but I'm trying to
work with a few developers on the same archive, and if I commit
something, they're not able to update unless I go into the archive and
manually override the permissions. We're all in the same group (devel),
so that's what I'd like to use to control access.

Is the file mask being set by sshd (this is an sftp access archive), by
the source machine, the archive machine, or something else?

Thanks
