I understand the logic here - set umask only for git, but would that
really work? I kinda get used that aliases are interactive session
thing, and man reads:

       Aliases are not expanded when the shell is not interactive,
       unless the expand_aliases shell option is set using shopt  (see
       the description of shopt under SHELL BUILTIN COMMANDS below).

I'm not sure how exactly git over ssh works though.


And whatever way of umask setting should be, did IS consider
implementing it via global /etc/profile or via profile templates clones
by adduser or similar tool, to alleviate that burden for the users?
