Per the very purpose of mailing list, you're expected to subscribe for
conversation.
You can't really expect people to go to the trouble of checking if they need
to send additional copies or not.

The idea of resetting ACL's on the top-level directory is to have a clean
start with the checkout. Doing it on an already existing tree may not yield
desirable results… as you've discovered yourself.

And if you ask me, a VCS that trying to preserve exact access mask is just
asking for trouble.
