 CONFIGURATION
 -------------
-By default, file and directories modes are set to 0666 or 0777. It is
-possible to change this by setting the "umask" variable in the
-repository configuration as follows :
 
-[tar]
-        umask = 002	;# group friendly
-
-The special umask value "user" indicates that the user's current umask
-will be used instead.  The default value is 002, which means group
-readable/writable files and directories.
+tar.umask::
+	This variable can be used to restrict the permission bits of
+	tar archive entries.  The default is 0002, which turns off the
+	world write bit.  The special value "user" indicates that the
+	archiving user's umask will be used instead.  See umask(2) for
+	details.
