That fix is good. I tweaked it so that the scattering of
(gid_t)-1 meaning no_group_update is replaced by GROUP_NONE.
In general literals should be avoided and with the cast
the unary minus looked binary requiring a double-take.
I also reverted the local indentation change. A single
space is not enough indent.
