Yes. When a pushed patch creates a new file in the tree, it results
in an empty file with 000 permissions under .pc. It's a known issue
when other tools such as tar, rsync, doxygen, etc try to process the
resulting tree including the .pc directory. The awkward permissions
are apparently a result of GNU patch.
There was a quilt patch posted back in June that supposedly got rid of
the 000 permissions, but it's not archived.
