Well, what's funny is that 'os.chmod()' on windows w/ NTFS is just a no-op.

It does seems like we should just swallow the exception. But I'm
hesitant to give that as the general solution. It seems like we should
be informed when a chmod() fails. Perhaps it would be sufficient to
change it to a warning. Though a warning would probably spam the screen
for every file created.

Maybe a one-time per instance warning? So if you start bzr, it keeps a
flag as to whether it has produced the warning. Doing just 'mutter()'
seems incomplete.
