Please see this discussion thread for a previous mail around the behavior of chmod and directory sgid bits. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-07/msg00124.html I think the NEWS file at least could be improved around the documentation of the chmod 0755 case. If you have suggestions for wording there that would be great.
