How about making it be
[core]
sharedrepository = {umask | user | group | everybody}
and allow the old boolean expression syntax to mean "0/false means umask,
1/true means group".
So you'd have:
- umask/0/false means "use 0777 permissions with default umask"
- user means "use 0500 permissions"
- group means "use 0550 permissions"
- everybody means "use 0555 permissions"
(where "5" is r-x, and only for directories, and obviously degenerates to
just "4" aka r-- for regular files).
That sounds really pretty self-explanatory and obvious, wouldn't you say?
