Forgot to mention umask too, which is no good. First, it also only
applies to new files; And second, it would only work if every user
would ensure the setting was locally active. And if you've ever
tried to implement e.g. a git-hook-based quality assurance policy,
you'll know that expecting all your users to ensure policy
compliance just doesn't work reliably.
