Do not use GIT_CPDIR_CHMOD flag when copying the template. This is an intermin solution. While this essentially disables the --shared flag feature, previously external templates did not work at all. This change fixes the previously corrected, and since then failing, repo_init__extended_with_template() test. The problem is now documented in the source code comments.
