When edititing a file via /sudo:: the owner/group of the file is reset
to root:root.  This is a regression from 24.2.

I cannot reproduce it, neither with the emacs-24 branch, nor with the
trunk. Could you, please, check with "emacs -Q"? Do you have special
settings of `backup-by-copying' and friends?

If it still happens to you, please run your test with tramp-verbose set
to 6. And please describe your test case.

> Andreas.

Best regards, Michael.

make-backup-files is nil.

Even with this setting I cannot reproduce. I need the traces, and/or
a simple scenario how to reproduce.

It even happens with make-backup-files == t.  Just edit a file with a
non-default group, like /etc/shadow.

Tramp: Inserting `/sudo:root <at> igel.home:/etc/shadow'...done

Tramp: Checking `vc-registered' for /sudo:root <at> igel.home:/etc/shadow...done
Tramp: Inserting `/sudo:root <at> igel.home:/etc/shadow'...done
Saving file /sudo:root <at> igel.home:/etc/shadow...
Copying /sudo:root <at> igel.home:/etc/shadow to /sudo:root <at> igel.home:/etc/shadow.~1~...done
Copying /tmp/tramp.28187Oau to /sudo:root <at> igel.home:/etc/shadow...done
Wrote /sudo:root <at> igel.home:/etc/shadow

Note that the backup copy retains the correct attributes.

Thanks for this test case; I see it now as well. I've committed a fix to
the emacs-24 branch; could you, please, check?
