Hmmm, darcs doesn't seem to handle any kind of meta data:

http://darcs.net/DarcsWiki/FrequentlyAskedQuestions#head-f6690ca8f72ee57532b9cf5e74147ae92f0be62a

Experimenting with a local repo, it looks like everything is created 0666 
(modulo umask), so I can fix this in the darcs repo, but this won't have any 
effect on checkouts. GHC's darcs-all suffers from this, too, and nhc98 comes 
with a 'start' script (which we should probably add, too).

Cheers,
