The reason why the copy-gid-from directory behavior is better:
Imagine a rich set of groups on your computer--representing protection
domains for actual groups of actual people.
A given project might be group "foobie", and all the people working on
that project are in the group. They use a umask of 002. Everything
works Just Great! Because when they create files or directories
inside the project, they automatically have the *group* set to
"foobie", even though the primary egid of the user might be
"user-category-6" or something like that.
