Yes, but if I ever run cvsup by hand I wind up with cvsup
going through my whole tree and resetting attributes because
my default umask isn't 2.  I once started up a cvsup by hand, sat
down to eat/watch TV, came back and realized that cvsup had reset
all of my file permissions.

Putting it in the cvsup file help to make sure you don't screw yourself up
by accident.
