It is a bit hard to keep a long discussion if one top-posts.

My point was for project directories configured for multiple developers.

I mean, the directory that is left after tla is finished.  tla creates
many such sub-directories in the project tree, library or archive.
All of them should have mode 2775 (664) recursivelly if the parent
directory has such mode and umask 2 is used. Otherwise, it is a bug.

Transient directories (shortly removed) are less important, except when
they are used to create tar.gz. I wanted to raise the awareness and to
check consequences in each individual case rather than blindly switching
to /tmp. Thank you.
