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. Russ
