Hi,

Either this is bug or an unintuitive feature.

address@hidden ~/foo touch src dest
address@hidden ~/foo chmod g-rwx src
address@hidden ~/foo chmod g+rwx dest
address@hidden ~/foo ls -l
total 0
-rw-rwxr-- 1 sake sake 0 2009-03-30 13:16 dest
-rw----r-- 1 sake sake 0 2009-03-30 13:16 src
address@hidden ~/foo cp --force --backup=t src dest
address@hidden ~/foo ls -l
total 0
-rw----r-- 1 sake sake 0 2009-03-30 13:16 dest
-rw-rwxr-- 1 sake sake 0 2009-03-30 13:16 dest.~1~
-rw----r-- 1 sake sake 0 2009-03-30 13:16 src

In case this is bug the patch is good. In case of feature it should be
modified to make sure that permissions are different.
