[darcs-devel] [issue595] get to remote repo fails when upstream directory permisions are restrictive

[Mark Stosberg]

I think your skepticism is well founded.   I think the situation is 
reasonable. Our server is a fairly stock cPanel setup with restrictive 
permissions on /home:

$ ls -lthd /home
drwx--x--x  61 root  wheel   1.5K Jan 18 14:47 /home

However, these operations still succeed for me:

cd /home/whereiam/www

 perl -MCwd -e  'chdir "/home/shopdons/www/store"; print cwd();';

I can also "cd" to /tmp and "cd" back.

Is this possible a Haskell bug? or maybe darcs is just executing an 
unnecessary command on a parent directory. It might be useful for 
someone else to review the test script that triggers it, and perhaps 
review the "strace" output of the failure point.
