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.

 tar.umask::
-       By default, gitlink:git-tar-tree[1] sets file and directories modes
-       to 0666 or 0777. While this is both useful and acceptable for projects
-       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.
+       This variable can be used to restrict the permission bits of

+       world write bit.  The special value "user" indicates that the
+       archiving user's umask will be used instead.  See umask(2) and

-archives.  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
