My apologies to have not commented it.

During my code surfing to understand the problem, and what places we revoked
sgid, I found this one, and, based on chmod specifications, we should keep sgid
on the directory while chmoding it, unless the user explicitly ask for sgid
removal, otherwise, if chmoding a file, we remove sgid if this isn't specified
in the new mode. So, I've added a check here to ensure the inode isn't a dir
before remove the sgid bit.

Should I remove it from the patch?
