I missed the part of the article which explained how to set up sftp to
have a non-default umask, but that's what I described in my third
paragraph: some way to have sftp change the umask. Unlike CVS, arch
doesn't handle g+s itself, but does something useless and mysterious in
this case (you have a shared writing archive, but users steal the lock
when they commit). The article also doesn't mention how you deal with
local access to the repository or NFS access to the repository, the first
of which I'm using, and the second of which (with CVS) I used at a
previous company. I haven't tried Subversion to see what it does.

The default umask on Debian (which is what we're using on the relevant
systems) is 0022, so there are plenty of systems with this configuration.
