Prior to d38379e (make update-server-info more robust, 2014-09-13),
we used a straight "fopen" to create the info/refs and
objects/info/packs files, which creates the file using mode 0666
(less the default umask).
In d38379e, we switched to creating the file with mkstemp to get a
unique filename. But mkstemp also uses the more restrictive 0600
mode to create the file. This was an unintended side effect that we
did not want, and causes problems when the repository is served by a
different user than the one running update-server-info (it is not
readable by a dumb http server running as `www`, for example).
We can fix this by using git_mkstemp_mode and specifying 0666 to
make sure that the umask is honored.
Note that we could also say "just use core.sharedrepository", as we
do call adjust_shared_perm on the result before renaming it into
place. But that should not be necessary as long as everybody
involved is using permissive umask to allow HTTP server to read
necessary files.

The t1301 script sets the umask globally before many of the
tests. Most of the tests that care about the umask then set
it explicitly at the start of the test. However, one test
does not, and relies on the 077 umask setting from earlier
tests. This is fragile and can break if another test is
added in between. Let's be more explicit.

This test was added recently (5a688fe, "core.sharedrepository = 0mode"
should set, not loosen; 2009-03-28). It checked the result of a sed
invocation for emptyness, but in some cases it forgot to print anything
at all, so that those checks would never be false.
Due to this mistake, it went unnoticed that the files in objects/info are
not necessarily 0440, but can also be 0660. Because the 0mode setting
tries to guarantee that the files are accessible only to the people they
are meant to be used by, we should only make sure that they are readable
by the user and the group when the configuration is set to 0660. It is a
separate matter from the core.shredrepository settings that w-bit from
immutable object files under objects/[0-9a-f][0-9a-f] directories should
be dropped.
COMMIT_EDITMSG is still world-readable, but it (and any transient files
that are meant for repositories with a work tree) does not matter. If you
are working on a shared machine and on a sekrit stuff, the root of the
work tree would be with mode 0700 (or 0750 to allow peeking by other
people in the group), and that would mean that .git/COMMIT_EDITMSG in such
a repository would not be readable by the strangers anyway.
Also, in the real-world use case, .git/COMMIT_EDITMSG will be given to an
arbitrary editor the user happens to use, and we have no guarantee what it
does (e.g. it may create a new file with umask and replace, it may rewrite
in place, it may leave an editor backup file but use umask to create it,
etc.), and the protection of the file lies majorly on the protection of
the root of the work tree.
This test cannot be run on Windows; it requires POSIXPERM when merged to
'master'.

* jc/shared-literally:
t1301: loosen test for forced modes
set_shared_perm(): sometimes we know what the final mode bits should look like
move_temp_to_file(): do not forget to chmod() in "Coda hack" codepath
Move chmod(foo, 0444) into move_temp_to_file()
"core.sharedrepository = 0mode" should set, not loosen
One of the aspects of the test checked explicitly for the
g+s bit to be set on created directories. However, this is
only the means to an end (the "end" being having the correct
group set). And in fact, on systems where
DIR_HAS_BSD_GROUP_SEMANTICS is set, we do not even need to
use this "means" at all, causing the test to fail.
This patch removes that part of the test. In an ideal world
it would be replaced by a test to check that the group was
properly assigned, but that is difficult to automate because
it requires the user running the test suite be a member of
multiple groups.

This fixes the behaviour of octal notation to how it is defined in the
documentation, while keeping the traditional "loosen only" semantics
intact for "group" and "everybody".
Three main points of this patch are:
- For an explicit octal notation, the internal shared_repository variable
is set to a negative value, so that we can tell "group" (which is to
"OR" in 0660) and 0660 (which is to "SET" to 0660);
- git-init did not set shared_repository variable early enough to affect
the initial creation of many files, notably copied templates and the
configuration. We set it very early when a command-line option
specifies a custom value.
- Many codepaths create files inside $GIT_DIR by various ways that all
involve mkstemp(), and then call move_temp_to_file() to rename it to
its final destination. We can add adjust_shared_perm() call here; for
the traditional "loosen-only", this would be a no-op for many codepaths
because the mode is already loose enough, but with the new behaviour it
makes a difference.

06cbe855 (Make core.sharedRepository more generic, 2008-04-16) made
several testcases in t1301-shared-repo.sh which fail if on a system
which creates files with extended attributes (e.g. SELinux), since ls
appends a '+' sign to the permission set in such cases. In fact,
POSIX.1 allows ls to add a single printable character after the usual
3x3 permission bits to show that an optional alternate/additional access
method is associated with the path.
This fixes the testcase to strip any such sign prior to verifying the
permission set.

This test creates files with several different umasks and expects their
permissions to be initialized according to the umask, so a default ACL on the
trash directory (which overrides the umask for files created in that directory)
causes the test to fail. To avoid that, remove the default ACL if possible with
setfacl(1).

06cbe85 (Make core.sharedRepository more generic, 2008-04-16) broke the
traditional setting of core.sharedRepository to true, which was to make
the repository group writable: with umask 022, it would clear the
permission bits for 'other'. (umask 002 did not exhibit this behaviour
since pre-chmod() check in adjust_shared_perm() fails in that case.)
The call to adjust_shared_perm() should only loosen the permission.
If the user has umask like 022 or 002 that allow others to read, the
resulting files should be made readable and writable by group, without
restricting the readability by others.
This patch fixes the adjust_shared_perm() mode tweak based on Junio's
suggestion and adds the appropriate tests to t/t1301-shared-repo.sh.

git init --shared=0xxx, where '0xxx' is an octal number, will create
a repository with file modes set to '0xxx'. Users with a safe umask
value (0077) can use this option to force file modes. For example,
'0640' is a group-readable but not group-writable regardless of
user's umask value. Values compatible with old Git versions are written
as they were before, for compatibility reasons. That is, "1" for
"group" and "2" for "everybody".
"git config core.sharedRepository 0xxx" is also handled.

For compatibility reasons, "git init --shared=all" does not write
"all" into the config, but a number. In the shared setup, you
really have to support even older clients on the _same_ repository.
But git_config_perm() did not pick up on it.
Also, "git update-server-info" failed to pick up on the shared
permissions.
This patch fixes both issues, and adds a test to prove it.
