+commit a712252392eca75443ca45c10a72873cabec7963

+    Be more careful about skipping shared file/directory creation
+    
+    - Only skip shared file/dir creation if its actually being created
+      by another package. Previously we could've decided to skip an entry
+      where the other file was also being skipped for some other reason.
+    - Ensure %ghost entries always have FA_SKIP on install, previously
+      they often were FA_CREATE which makes no sense for %ghost. We dont
+      encounter %ghosts at all during install in the FSM as they dont
+      exist in the payload, but the file disposition calculations need
+      to take them into account now that we're avoiding redundant creates.
+    - Fixes a regression from commit f7f5f88f9f3d6587e747b034ccb64a3f00ff4e1e
+      which unearthed the %ghost FA_CREATE issue, reported here:
+      http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/buildsys/2013-January/004047.html
