My usage scenario: A server contains a directory owned by group 'collab', which is group writeable and has the setgid bit set. This means that all new directories created underneath it will also be owned by group 'collab'. The server is set up with accounts for users whose desktop systems automatically mount this directory using sshfs so that it appears on their local desktop. The idea is that everyone who is in the 'collab' group on the server should be able to add and delete files and directories from this folder. The umask on each user's desktop system must be set to create all new files and directories group- writeable, which this bug prevents from happening correctly. As a result, a new directory created by a user using Hardy isn't writeable by the other members of the 'collab' group until the group permission is manually corrected. Please let me know if anything here doesn't make sense. I think it's a fairly sensible usage scenario.
