I would think that 644 and 755 access would be fine for > these files, and it would prevent the problems I see with CrashPlan. That's an upstream build system bug. Some of the installation scripts use cp instead of install and that in turn makes them dependent on umask (which doesn't get set aywhere I can easily find). I guess Adam could work around that by setting 'umask 022' in the cygport file, but it really should be fixed in git.git.
