People that use CVSUP to update a local copy of the CVS tree, seem to preserve these permissions on their local CVS copy. However, I use CTM to obtain a copy of the CVS tree, and in my case the permissions are not preserved (in fact, all files in my CVS tree have file mode 664). I'm wondering if this is a problem in my setup (e.g. I have set the wrong umask or something) or that this is a generic problem with CTM? A more theoretical question would be: can we safely rely on the file permissions on the CVS tree, or should we take precautions (in this case use the Makefile to set execute permissions on the checkout files, before running them).
