### Please describe the problem. umask is 022 on both hosts If one does ls -lL on source repo, the files are shown 644. Now, "git annex get" from a clone done over ssh generally preserves 644 ... except if the transfer (rsync) is interrupted, and then resumed. In fact, looks like the temp files in .git/annex/tmp have the og+r bits cleared during the resumed transfer. So this is inconsistent: I don't see why permissions should be different, depending whether or not there was an interruption in the transfer. Plus, og+r permissions can actually be important for setups like serving contents using Samba. ### What steps will reproduce the problem? cd dir1 git init git annex init touch a truncate -s 10G b git annex add . git commit -m 'new' git clone localhost:/path/to/dir1 dir2 cd dir2 git annex get ctrl^c git annex get ls -lL ... see different perms ### What version of git-annex are you using?
