Git problem

[Thomas Schilling]

I'm not sure.  It could be some permission thing as a result of how
the script works that syncs with the Github repo.  Github uses ssh key
authentication to identify the user, so we set up a keyfile that
should be used by everyone with push access to darcs.h.o.  Apparently,
Git creates some files with the user's permissions which leads to
problems if the umask is too restrictive.  The push was successful
nevertheless, which is a bit confusing.  Ian and I will look into
this.
