Generally, git follows the umask when creating most files. However, for
the object files in the object database, it does drop the "w" bit, as
once written, they should never be changed (after all, the filename is a
hash of the contents). We don't ever open those files for writing, but
we may try to rename another file over them; that might behave
differently on Unix versus Windows (or even differently on Windows
between local and remote-mounted filesystems).
