The problem is that that somewhat breaks patch(1), it still
works but spills a bunch of errors because it can't chmod 
any files, and it shows up as created by none.

Also if you have a sources/contrib account you need to modify
your local 9fs to remove the -n.

Maybe we should add a sourcesauth entry to 9fs?
