Thank you.
Applied with a slightly less verbose comment.

Subject: [PATCH] tests: avoid failure of install-C test on FreeBSD UFS file 
system

* tests/install/install-C: Use 2755 (set-gid), not 1755 (sticky),
to test install -C with non-permission mode bits set.  At least on
FreeBSD with a UFS file system, a non-root user may not set the
sticky bit on a non-directory.
