+tar.umask::
+       By default, gitlink:git-tar-tree[1] sets file and directories modes

+       such as the Linux Kernel, it might be excessive for other projects.
+       With this variable, it becomes possible to tell
+       gitlink: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 gitlink:git-checkout[1] would use. The default
+       value remains 0, which means world read-write.
