Thanks!

Could you file a bug for this please? I don't think this disabling enough
to stop the 0.9.6 release (or to introduce any unneccessary code change so
near a release) but would be happy to add it for 0.9.7.

Hmm... I'm not quite sure I'd personally agree with that. Wasn't the
purpose of group permissions to be a bit more granular that per-user?
It would make sense to give or take permissions to/from "all other human
users" or something, but why would you want group permissions for a group
that only you are in? Sure, there is root:root for normal files, but except
for that one I kindof don't see the purpose in one-user groups...
Feel free to disagree with me.

Hmm, that is indeed a bug, but it might require some amount of code to fix
properly. Again, an ideal 0.9.7 bug, could you please open one (a different
one than for 1) ) for this issue?

So Far,
