(minor) setperms and DOS users

Supporting git on DOS may be a fact of life, but it felt good to make
them use the "right" editor (hint: starts with v, ends with m, has three
letters), or at least something equivalent, to produce their setperms
input files.

I'd say "yes Fred I know.  However, Unix doesn't work like that, and
when talking to a big, important, OS like Unix from your little
single-user workstation, you do have to go the extra mile.  It's not
that different from going into a meeting with the CEO you know -- you
dress up a little for that meeting don't you?".  And Fred would nod, a
little awed by the analogy.  Maybe the awe was tinged with a wee bit of
anger but not much; he knows there's a hierarchy among OSs, just like
among people, and he knows where his OS stands in that hierarchy...

----

For the humour impaired, that was a joke.  To start with, I don't know
anyone called Fred.

It *is* true that I tend to ignore DOS if at all possible, especially in
my *code*.  But since I don't really use wildrepos at work, this issue
would never have come up for me, even in the DOS projects I manage.

In this case someone who's contributed a heck of a lot to the evolution
of gitolite asked, so here it is.

----

oh and in case you were wondering, DOS stands for "dominant operating
system" ;-)
