+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 remains 0, which means world
+readable/writable files and directories.
