Hi,
with recent head the following does not work:
touch foo
chmod 444 foo
cp -p foo bar
I get
cp: utimes: bar: Permission denied
Something similar seems to happen during "make dist" in an
autoconf/automake project.
Cheers,
Johannes
PS: Sorry for my lousy attempts on irc....

Hmm. Well, the utimes manual page implies that utimes should
succeed if you own the file, even if you do not have write access.
I'll have to augment our access checks slightly to fix this.
