Description
Uploading a site using wagon might nuke permission bits of e.g. CGI scripts thus making these unavailable.
For Apache webserver, a CGI script can have the permission bit set and is then executed. This is e.g. used for the "download.cgi" script on many Apache project sites.
The wagon uploader (at least ssh and ssh-external) unconditionally change the permissions of all files to be 664. Which kills the execution bits. Which is bad (TM).
