Not reliably, since users and groups are not standardized across all
the mirrors.  (For example, a 770-mode file on my mirror would only be
readable by members of group `mirror', which has only one member, the
user `mirror'.  rsyncd and cvsupd run under different users and
groups.)

However, I think it may well be good enough, and the intermediate
mirror operators can deal if you give them enough advance notice as to
how the release will be handled.
