[darcs-users] --set-scripts-executable ignore world flag ?

[gary ng]

I am running 1.0.3 from debian sid.

Well, even it only looks into the content of the file
to determine
if it is script, it still cannot explain why it does
0755 to 0754.
Without the flag, it just gives 0644.

BTW, what would be the reason to ignore the
metadata(the file attribute in this case) as they are
just part of the *nix system, unlike Windows that is
not very important.
