It would be nice to see versioned attributes, but I think the issue and
Mark were only talking about tweaking the `cvs admin' command to set and
unset x bits on archives in the repository, so the recommended way of
fixing a mistake was no longer to have the server admin go in and chmod
+/-x.  I think it will be easier to tweak `cvs admin' to chmod +/-x than
to fix the PreservePermissions code.  :)
