Description

I'm using vdirsyncer 0.16.7-2 (Debian), and discovered that files created during sync do not respect umask. I.e., despite umask 022, the singlefile created in my scenario will have a mode of 0600.

Research direction

Reproduce the reported sync scenario with vdirsyncer 0.16.7-2 and inspect how the synced singlefile is created under umask 022. Done means files created during sync respect the active umask instead of consistently receiving mode 0600.
