Hi,
I am using https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-manpages-2.28.0.tar.gz to get the manpages part of git.
There has been a change in the permissions of the top-level folder, from 2.22 (perms 2750) to 2.25 (perms 0700) to 2.28 (perms 2700).
However, the permissions of other files/directories allow group/others read/execute, as before.
This change broke my latest installations by preventing group members to see manpages (I did a chmod to fix that).
Just sharing this observation, in case the change was not intentional.

Thanks for letting me know.
The build procedure of these documentation tarballs pretty much just
snapshots how I personally have these files locally and not
something that was carefully designed to produce files for public
consumption.
I'm contemplating to apply something like the following patch to the
build procedure so that I can externally control the mode bits
recorded in the tarball by setting TAR_C_EXTRA_OPTS to options that
overrides mode bits and stuff (it takes GNU tar unfortunately, but
I suspect I am the only person that runs dist-doc target anyway)

also useful (albeit not for the same reason) with BSD tar for adding
things like "--check-links", either way don't forget the signed-off

Thanks. I haven't even written a proposed log message yet, but I'll
remember.

I just realized that we should do the same for the soure release
tarball, not just preformatted documentation tarballs that are not
really sources.
The use of the 'c' mode with 'tar' is an implementation detail of
doing a 'distribution'; TAR_C_EXTRA_OPTS in the draft version was
renamed to TAR_DIST_EXTRA_OPTS to make it more clear that this is
for use with $(TAR) for dist targets.
Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] Makefile: allow extra tweaking of distribution tarball
The maintainer's dist rules are used to produce distribution
tarballs. They use "$(TAR) cf" and "$(TAR) rf" to produce archives
out of a freshly created local installation area, which means that
the built product can be affected by maintainer's umask and other
local environment.
Implementations of "tar" have ways (implementation specific,
unfortunately) to force permission bits and other stuff to allow the
user to hide these effects coming from the local environment. Teach
our Makefile to allow the maintainer to tweak the invocation of the
$(TAR) commands by setting TAR_DIST_EXTRA_OPTS.
