          other defined permission and mode bits can.  The gid can be
          changed: by the owner if also a member of the new group; or
          by the group leader of the file's current group if also
          leader of the new group (see intro(9P) for more information
          about permissions, users, and groups).  None of the other

I don't think anything terrible would happen if
one deleted the text "if also a member of the new group"
for the owner.  Maybe it's a holdover from Unix worth
getting rid of.  It's almost certainly a one-line change
to fossil.
