Subject: 'error: unable to set permission to './objects/...'

Hello,

I'm hosting git repository on filesystem with 'chmod <some-file>'
causing permission denied error (it's smbfs mounted directory),
When I was doing push to such repo using file:// protocol, I got
following error:
error: unable to set permission to './objects/...'

I did a small fix to sha1_file.c (patch in attachment) and git now
warns when unable to chmod, and continues push. This resolved problem.
What do you think about applying it?

Regards,
--
