Bug#341599: Creates files in _darcs/patches with mode 600

[Juliusz Chroboczek]

Note that current darcs-unstable has the ability to enforce the umask
from Darcs itself.  Just put

  ALL umask=022

in your defaults file, and Darcs will switch umasks before writing.
This is, however, almost completely untested, as it got into d-u just
today.

Bug#341599: Creates files in _darcs/patches with mode 600

[Daniel Burrows]

Package: darcs
Version: 1.0.4-2
Severity: normal

  Even though my umask is 022, darcs seems to create patches with mode 600,
or perhaps set them to mode 600 from time to time.  This is rather annoying 
if you want to publish a repository for other people to pull from:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp$ darcs get 
http://people.debian.org/~dburrows/darcs/aptitude aptitude
Copying patch 14 of 283...

libcurl: HTTP error (404?)

  BTW, the HTTP error reported is also wrong; it's 403 Forbidden.

The most likely culprit is if you're running darcs apply from a mailer.
Mailers generally modify the umask before piping to an external command.  I
have an entry like

macro pager A pipe-entry(umask 022; darcs apply --no-test --repodir ~/darcs)

in my .muttrc to work around this feature in mutt.
