I locally have a git stash with


f [ ! -d "${BUILDRESULT}" ]; then
     if [ -n "${BUILDRESULT}" ] ; then
         mkdir -p "${BUILDRESULT}"
+        chown "${BUILDRESULTUID}:${BUILDRESULTGID}" "${BUILDRESULT}"
     fi

which does the trick, but

erm, I sincerely have no clue on how to do this without getting mad by
doing the job of the -p switch manually.
Suggestion?
