Please provide a description of this change. What problem is it fixing?
How does it fix it? What are the consequences of not making this change?
In the initial patch I made a typo. As Pekka Enberg pointed out, with
the if still following the else, you can still get a null uid written to
the disk if you specify a default uid= without uid=forget. In other
words, if the desktop user is uid=1000 and the mount option uid=1000 is
given ( which is done on ubuntu automatically and probably other
distributions that use hal ), then if any other user besides uid 1000
owns a file then a 0 will be written to the media as the owning uid
instead. This is exactly what the original patch was trying to prevent.
