Comment:

 See #8400, #7779

 Group-writable is not supported currently.

 The owner on new files can never be set correctly, so it'll always be
 owned by the  web server (ie. apache) instead of by the current user

 Thats why it checks the owner of the current file, compared to the owner
 of created files.

 I'm closing as wontfix, due to the ownership issues. It could cause huge
 problem on some shared hosters (most of the major ones at least)
