[Gnu-arch-users] bad permissions when adding revisions to the library

[Pau Aliagas]

I want to share the revision library and to do so I've created a shared 
dir, with g+s permisions. People belonging to the groups should be able to 
store revisions there.

But when a library is needed and, consequently, added, I have permission 
problems:
-the dirs up to patch level preserve the group setuid bit
-but the directories inside don't

Example:
* /home/arch/{library} is created manually with g+s
  I expect all the subdirs to keep the group setuid bit
* /home/arch/{library}/address@hidden/web/web--prod/web--prod--1.0
  This one and all the preceeding are created with g+s
* /home/arch/{library}/address@hidden/web/web--prod/web--prod--1.0--patch-X
  This one does not preserve the group setuid bit, so the dirs inside are 
  created

* umask is always 0002

I would expect tla to always honour the group setuid bits.
