Package: etckeeper
Version: 0.48
Severity: important
Tags: squeeze
`etckeeper init` assumes, that `git checkout` sets permissions to either 644
or to 755, and, hence, does not remember mode for files with such modes. But
this is true only, if umask was 022. Otherwise, some files, which were
originally 644 or 755, can become something like 640 or 750 (umask 027) after
`git checkout`. `etckeeper init` can not restore mode for these files,
because it simply does not save mode for them.
How to reproduce:
root@shilvana:/etc# ls -l passwd
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2472 Nov 22 14:05 passwd
root@shilvana:/etc# umask 027
root@shilvana:/etc# git checkout passwd
root@shilvana:/etc# ls -l passwd
-rw-r----- 1 root root 2472 Nov 23 14:41 passwd
root@shilvana:/etc# etckeeper init
root@shilvana:/etc# ls -l passwd
-rw-r----- 1 root root 2472 Nov 23 14:41 passwd
