I just use an Ant chmod target to restore all the permissions as needed. I
ran into this last week. The thing that really sucks is the chmod task
doesn't do anything on Windows. It hasn't been that big of a problem for
me. Definitely something for someone to try and work on if there's a way to
do it through Java.

It can't be done directly in Ant as Java has very little knowledge of
permissions; they're OS specific.
