* Direct mode: No longer temporarily remove write permission bit of files when ↵Gravatar Joey Hess2013-06-12

But not in direct mode, where files should be able to be modified at any time. There are already sufficient guards that there's no need to prevent a file being written to while it's being ingested, in direct mode. The inode cache will detect (most) types of modifications, and the add will fail. Then a re-add should be done. The assistant should get another inotify change event, and automatically add the new version of the file.
