Is there a rationale for copying the permissions from source to
destination during hotcopy? Hotcopy is a different operation from
normal repository read and write so the user/group/umask used for normal
access could be different from the user/group/umask used to make the
hotcopy. I'd expect hotcopy to respect umask for permissions.

I see that we already copy the permissions for rev and revprop files but
that seems silly to me since we don't copy permissions for directories
like db/ and db/revs/. If we have a repository with group write access:

umask 007
svnadmin create src
svn import -mm repo/format file://`pwd`/src/A/f

then a hotcopy without group write access

umask 022
svnadmin hotcopy src dst

gives group write access to files like db/wc.db and db/txn-current but
will not allow group commits because db/ is group read-only.
