permissions change in 1.7.34. I've pointed people to the FAQ about ssh
public key authentication, which is not the first place where someone with
this problem is likely to look. The following patch attempts to remedy
this:
Unfortunately it doesn't apply cleanly. There are weird differences in
whitespaces and a patch-breaking line wrap. Can you check and resend,
please?
Sorry, my mailer must have messed it up. Here it is as an attachment.
