COMMIT_EDITMSG is related to committing, committing needs
working copy, and shared working copies don't work all too
well (and Git can't do anything about that because all kinds
of stuff edits the files there, not just Git).

Shared repository settings are meant to override umasks
for files in actual repository itself.
