3573	copy does not honor setgid flag on target directory	ntpt		"I have a directory with setfacl and setgid flak on it so newly created stuff  inside directory have a set group as parent directory

mkdir foo
chmod g+s foo

when I try to copy by midnight commander ie select in one panel and directory foo in second panel as destination, even with the PRESERVE ATTRIBUTES  NOT checked,  newly created directories under foo does not have a  s  bit set .

Hovewer, copying the same things with plain cp source/* /path/to/foo work and s bit of foo directory is preserved on copied subdirs

I consider it is a bug. 
 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.mkdir foo
2.chmod g+s foo
3. in mc select some files and directories as source
4. set preserve attributes as NOT checked and copy to foo


Actual Results:  

ls -al 
drwxrws--- foo
cd foo
ls -al 
all copied directories 
drwxrwx---  but not s 


Expected Results:  
newly created (ie copied) directories to foo/something to honour g+s of the parent directory, like plain cp does

version of mc = 4.8.15


I consider it major bug, because mc is used mainly for  copying files so this function should be flawless "	defect	closed	major		mc-core	master	duplicate					no branch
