My problem is that an branch always has to be created by root if you want to 
copy the restrictions as well. Which is something you want to do when you 
(for example) create a stable branch next to a feature-full branch, and 
both branches have to be used by all users.

This is because other-peoples files I copy will be mine afterwards; and file 
protections will be useless then (escpecially if I am not in a group that 
certain files belong to, which make me loose the group info as well).
Naturally root will not have these problems; but an FTP server will not 
permit me to login as root; so I will have to ssh there...

ps: is ssh as a remote-protocol supported (like the fish:/ protocol in KDE)?
