copy tag does not preserve file permissions in linux.

           Summary: copy tag does not preserve file permissions in linux.
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.5.2
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Core tasks
        AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org
        ReportedBy: michel.monette@adobe.com


I just completed a small sample build.xml and found that the <copy> tag does 
not preserve file permissions when using the following format.

<copy file="${copy.file1}" tofile="${copy.dir.tofile1}" overwrite="yes" 
failonerror="false"/>

I didn't try it with the <fileset> type.

Thanks,

Michel
