File permissions are not preserved by the 'Copy' task

           Summary: File permissions are not preserved by the 'Copy' task
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.5 alpha (nightly)
          Platform: Alpha
        OS/Version: AIX
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Critical
          Priority: Other
         Component: Core tasks
        AssignedTo: ant-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: vblant@bsi.gov.mb.ca


The 'copy' task removes executable permissions from all files it processes.
i.e What was:
-rwxr-xr-x   1 build    build     104236 Dec 03 16:20 tlpoke
becomes:
-rw-r--r--   1 build    build     104236 Dec 03 17:40 tlpoke

This makes the build tool unusable for me, since I have over a 100 executable 
files with different extensions and under different directories.
