Description

• SetOwner operations can change both the user and group which a file or directory belongs to, or just one of those. Currently, in the XML serialization/deserialization code, we don't handle the case where just the group is set, not the user. We should handle this case.

• consistently serialize generation stamp as GENSTAMP.
