Darcs doesn't care what execution privilege files have.
The --set-script-executable simply looks at the file and
set the execution bit if it thinks it is an executable script
(e.g., starting with #!/bin/sh).  It doesn't matter if the file
"used" to be executable.

Also, the --set-script-executable feature seems to have be
broken in some 1.0.4 prerelease, so it only works in 1.0.3.
