Shouldn't the umask setting apply to all things written by hg then,
not only hg serve --stdio?

In this case putting it in the [web] or [server] section isn't good.
Maybe we need something like the [ui] section for all non-ui-related
stuff, as currently the number of sections with only one setting
isn't nice. Maybe [settings] or [general]?
