Setting the Umask when Using Capistrano

I've recently been using Capistrano for deployment and other remote tasks and it's proving quite useful.
One problem I ran into was that the umask was being set to 022 when using Capistrano and 002 when I was ssh'd into the server itself.
After a bit of research, I discovered that the secret is to put the umask statement in my .bashrc file before the line that says [ -z "$PS1" ] && return as when Capistrano logs into the server, it doesn't have an interactive shell (and so $PS1isn't set.
My .bashrc now looks like this:
# ~/.bashrc: executed by bash(1) for non-login shells. # see /usr/share/doc/bash/examples/startup-files (in the package bash-doc) # for examples umask 002 export PATH=~/bin:$PATH # If not running interactively, don't do anything [ -z "$PS1" ] && return
