[Quilt-dev] perms.test fails on modern server

[John Vandenberg]

Hi,

I am testing quilt on a recently sync'd gentoo box; and it still fails
for me.  This box has:

GNU Awk 3.1.4
ls (coreutils) 5.2.1

Here is the output, but its essentially the same on every platform
I've tested.  Does it work for anyone else?

[perms.test]
[1] $ umask 022 -- ok
[2] $ mkdir d -- ok
[3] $ cd d -- ok
[4] $ echo foo > foo -- ok
[5] $ chmod 704 foo -- ok
[6] $ ls -l foo | awk '{ print $1,$8 }' -- failed
-rwx---r-- foo                        ? -rwx---r-- 04:20                       
[9] $ quilt new test.diff -- ok
[12] $ quilt add foo -- ok
[15] $ ls -l foo | awk '{ print $1,$8 }' -- failed
-rwx---r-- foo                        ? -rwx---r-- 04:20                       
[18] $ echo foobar > foo -- ok
[19] $ quilt ref -- ok
[22] $ quilt new test2.diff -- ok

[32] $ echo foobaz > foo -- ok
[33] $ quilt ref -- ok
[40] $ quilt pop -q -- ok

[47] $ quilt push -q -- ok
[51] $ ls -l foo | awk '{ print $1,$8 }' -- failed
-rwx---r-- foo                        ? -rwx---r-- 04:20                       
[54] $ quilt pop -q -- ok
[58] $ quilt remove foo -- ok
[61] $ ls -l foo | awk '{ print $1,$8 }' -- failed
-rwx---r-- foo                        ? -rwx---r-- 04:20                       
[64] $ cd .. -- ok
[65] $ rm -rf d -- ok
26 commands (20 passed, 6 failed)
make: *** [perms.test] Error 6

Any clues on what could be causing the problem?

Here is the fix that works for me:
