borg 1.1.4

When using Borg there is no option to set umask variable.
Default it is 077, so there is a problem when few users try use one borg repository.

To resolve this issue:
add new variable: BORGBACKUP_UMASK
and set it correctly in borg_set_vars function.

Just a guess, but did you try to set umask in your local.conf ?

Yes. I tried to set BORGBACKUP_UMASK="0007" and a few more combinations (including system environment variables) but I see that rear uses only a few BORGBACKUP_XXX variables to compose borg command line options.
When borg is run without --umask option it uses default 077 and moreover it is passing it to borge serve (if run through ssh). And it doesn't matter if borg backup repository was created with different umask

OK, I see your point now.
I'll write a patch for this.

@pavl00 feel free to test https://github.com/gozora/rear/tree/borg_umask, for changes related to Borg umask ...

If there will be no objections, this code will be merged in couple of days into ReaRs upstream.

Yes it works with borg create.
But as I can see now --umask must be used in all repo related borg commands, here in rear: create,prune, init(probably).
