Correct me if I'm wrong but does 'hg push ssh://<host>/<path>' not  
call 'hg -R <path> serve --stdin' on the target host?

It would be very useful to be able to set the umask to 002 to make  
sure that a small group of developers with write access to a  
repository create files group-writable.

In the more general case: it would be useful to set the umask even if  
the target repository of the 'push' is on a local file system.
