That should be handled by the infamous PreservePermissions code that
already exists but was so buggy that it was disabled until someone got
around to fixing it (and writing tests so that it stayed fixed).  If you
really want to do this, it might be a better use of your time to fix
that code rather than writing new special purpose code.
