Executable flagging patch

[george young]

I tried out the patch a bit.  It seemed to do the right thing
on "bzr branch", but when I did "bzr export", the execute bit
disappeared in the exported directory.

I'll try to track it down more precisely, but I don't know bzr
internals (yet), so I may not be very effective.
