Odd contents of bazaar-ng.org::bazaar-ng/bzr/bzr.dev

For some reason, whenever I try to rsync from
bazaar-ng.org::bazaar-ng/bzr/bzr.dev/

I get all of the files having the setgid bit set. I'm guessing the
original idea was to set the gid bit on the directories, so that all
files would be created in the correct permissions group.

However, it seems to have spilled over into other files as well.
I believe the setgid bit make a file executable, and makes it run as
that group. (I know it does the latter, I'm not sure if it is
automatically executable).

Can you remove those bits?

Thanks,
John
