[bug-diffutils] Does patch ignore Linux ACLs?

[Thomas Keller]

Hi!

I stumbled upon this several times, but last time I was bitten a bit
hard. My umask on some server creates no world-readable files, but this
should actually not be a problem when ACLs are in place which inherit
permissions from default rules for certain users and groups, right?

I was quite astouned that patch(1) however ignored these default ACLs
when it created new files form a patch it received from STDIN. Is this
expected behaviour or considered a bug?

Thanks in advance for enlightening answers,
Thomas.
