That's funny.  I just found the underdocumented 'PreservePermissions'
option.  If you are running a CVS client and server more recent than
1.9.26 (and you should! ;), try editing the repository's CVSROOT/config
file and adding or setting 'PreservePermissions=3Dtrue'.  This just might
help :)  I'm not sure if it would at all work with a remote repository,
though - never tested it.

G'luck,
Peter
