I just realized that with bound branches, you have to be more careful
than this. Since you will update the bound branch, and the local one,
and the umask can definitely be different between them.
Anyone else have a better idea of when to set the umask? The best I have
right now is to set/unset it before each operation. Which seems like we
can do better than that.
