git-annex-4.20130601: doc/bugs/assistant_doesn__39__t_sync_file_permissions.mdwn
### Please describe the problem.
The assistant does not sync file permissions so if you set something as executable it won't be set the same on the other repositories.
### What steps will reproduce the problem?
On the first host:
[[!format sh """
$ echo -e '#!/bin/sh\necho "Hello World!"' > testscript
$ chmod ugo+x testscript
$ ./testscript
Hello World!
$ ls -l
total 4
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pedrocr pedrocr 30 May 31 20:00 testscript
"""]]
And on the second host:
[[!format sh """
$ ls -l
total 4
-rw-r--r-- 1 pedrocr pedrocr 30 May 31 20:00 testscript
$ ./testscript
bash: ./testscript: Permission denied
"""]]
