file permissions are not retained

[sammy-da]

Files that are outside of directories don't get packed when Add()'ed to the file store and subesquently Copy()'ed, and their permissions (i.e. rwx file mode bits) don't get retained.

Also, for files within (sub-) directories, their mode bits don't get fully retained when pulling either.
Seems like the un-packing is akin to tar -x rather than tar -x --preserve-permissions.
It would be nice to have an option to preserve the permissions

for those, i came up with my own scheme for recording the file info (mode, modtime) in my app, by setting annotations on the layer corresponding to each file when pushing.
