Package: sshfs
Version: 1.7-2.1
Severity: normal

I know about the "Mounting as root" FAQ, but I believe there is a way
around this that should at least be configurable on networks where the
uid and gid are the same between machines (or indeed, my home network
where I've adopted the same uid and gid as I have at work).

sftp appears to have a chown and chgrp option that (unfortunately,
only) takes uid and and gid numeric arguments.  For some of us, that
would be sufficient for a sshfs process running as root remotely and
locally.  Could you please consider this?

As it is, read already works fine, but it got me stumped for a little
while when I first tried writing a file and it came out with proper
mode but root:root permissions.
