Rebase Permissions

[Stephen Rasku]

I am trying to rebase a repository that I didn't create but which I
have group write permission on:

$ ls -l .
total 40
drwxrwxr-x 114 hguser hg 4096 Nov  2 14:17 Dir1/
drwxrwxr-x   7 hguser hg 4096 Sep 10 15:43 Dir2/
drwxrwxr-x   2 hguser hg 4096 Oct 15 07:58 INC/
drwxrwxr-x   2 hguser hg 4096 Sep 10 15:43 psftp/
drwxrwxr-x  11 hguser hg 4096 Sep 10 15:43 www/

When I try and rebase it, I get the following error:

$ hg pull --reb
pulling from /var/hg/blah
searching for changes
adding changesets
adding manifests
adding file changes
added 159 changesets with 411 changes to 171 files (+1 heads)
(run 'hg heads' to see heads, 'hg merge' to merge)
abort: Permission denied: /.../Dir1/newmodule/Makefile

This module doesn't exist in the repository prior to rebasing.  Why
would Mercurial create a file with permissions that the user running
the command can't use?

This is for version 1.3.1 on Linux.
