From 687157c736d7a1aac152866cbe20030aaa25513f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Ren=C3=A9=20Scharfe?= Date: Tue, 21 Aug 2007 20:01:16 +0200 Subject: Documentation: update tar.umask default As noted by Mike Hommey, the documentation for the config setting tar.umask is not up-to-date. Commit f08b3b0e2e9ad87767d80ff03b013c686e08ba4b changed the default from 0 to 2; this patch finally documents it.
