This worked for us. We are not sure if this is a good implementation. Jochen, thanks for sharing the code changes with us. I allowed me to a) reconstruct the original mail, b) add "+++" at the places where you added the stat() and chmod(), c) and to send the question "is this a good implementation ?" to upstream git. I think your implementation makes sense. /Torsten -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
