I just applied a patch which is supposed to handle this owner=3D=3Dgroup
scenario better.

In short, Cygwin will try to handle POSIX user and group permissions
separately, even if owner =3D=3D group.  This is basically a fake as far
as the actual permissions of the account are concerned, but it allows
applications still to chmod to different user and group perms.  It
just *looks* different in the end.

The only restriction of this is that the POSIX user permissions are
always changed so that the user perms are >=3D the group perms in this
situation.  So this:

  chmod 460 foo

will be internally twisted into

  chmod 660 foo


I uploaded new developer snapshots to https://cygwin.com/snapshots/
and I'm just uploading a 2.0.0-0.5 test release with this change.

Please give either of them a try.  I'd be interested in feedback,
ideally with details if something doesn't work as desired.


Thanks,
Corinna
