I think that was a misguided change to make the semantics muddy and to break the existing users who use the bit for its intended purpose (i.e. to avoid lstat() by promising that it is not necessary), and not "bending over to support". Offhand, I doubt we would want to add more of the same kind. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
