+Subject: [PATCH] reflink: set metadata for hardlinked files
+
+RPM deduplicates identical files by creating them as hardlinks.
+Since metadata is shared between copies, permissions are set when
+extracting the last copy.
+This breaks reflinks, where each copy has its own metadata.
+Fix it by always set metadata when the file content is handled by a plugin.
