Re: tracking perms/ownership

Yes, please do.  Even if you do not end up implementing the perms/owner 
tracking using the clean/smudge filter, it seems odd that the filter 
should not get the filename.

Please don't.  Go back to the list discussion and recall why any
filters that depends on nothing but contents are bad ("crlf good,
keyword bad").  Don't feed paths to filters.
