Thanks for a clear report.

Can you say a little more about this?  The old behavior of using
(0755 & ~umask) instead of (0777 & ~umask) wouldn't be a security
problem, making a worktree shared within a group tends to require
writing the setgid ("sticky") bit anyway, and using chmod once works
as a workaround.

So it seems like a normal bug, instead of one with a major effect on
usability.

That said, if I have missed something that makes this a more major
problem (e.g., if it breaks some other tool in wheezy) then I'd be
happy to apply the fix.

Thanks,
Jonathan
