tar-tree: add the "tar.umask" config option
By default, git-tar-tree(1) sets file and directories modes to 0666 or 0777. While this is both useful and acceptable for projects such as the Linux Kernel, it might be excessive for other projects. With this variable, it becomes possible to tell git-tar-tree(1) to apply a specific umask to the modes above. The special value "user" indicates that the user's current umask will be used. This should be enough for most projects, as it will lead to the same permissions as git-checkout(1) would use. The default value remains 0, which means world read-write.
