Original submission:

mc always shows 0755 as ".." permissions ­— that's incorrect 
behaviour.
Much better way is to show nothing as mc does not show mtime, size 
and some other attributes of ".." at all.

User, group and some other values are broken too, seems, 
src/screen.c should be patched to check for ".." in more places.

89_parent_dir_metadata is created; parent branch: master.

Solution: display "UP--DIR" in mini-status when ".." is selected.

IMHO good solution. Patch contain comment:

FIXME:
while loading directory (do_load_dir() and do_reload_dir(),
the actual stat info about ".." directory isn't got;
so just don't display incorrect info about ".." directory

I think, not needed to retrieve stat info for '..' directory. What think others?

I am agree with you, there is no need to get stat info for '..' directory.
