We used to unnecessarily give the read permission to group and others,
regardless of the umask, which isn't serious because the objects are
still protected by their containing directory, but isn't necessary
either.

We used to create 0600 files, and then use chmod to set the group and
other permission bits to the umask. This usually has the same effect
as a normal file creation with a umask.
But in the presence of ACLs, the group permission plays the role of
the ACL mask: the "g" bits of newly created files are chosen according
to default ACL mask of the directory, not according to the umask, and
doing a chmod() on these "g" bits affect the ACL's mask instead of
actual group permission.
In other words, creating files with 0600 and then doing a chmod to the
umask creates files which are unreadable by users allowed in the
default ACL. To create the files without breaking ACLs, we let the
umask do it's job at the file's creation time, and get rid of the
later chmod.

Right now, Git creates unreadable pack files on non-shared
repositories when the user has a umask of 077, even when the default
ACLs for the directory would give read/write access to a specific
user.
Loose object files are created world-readable, which doesn't break ACLs,
but isn't necessarily desirable.
