I've pinpointed when this regression occurred, it was between 2.8.0 and
2.9.0.

   - (GOOD) 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7 and 2.8 properly inherit the destination
   permissions.
   - (BAD) 2.8, 2.9, 2.10 and 2.11 do not inherit the destination
   permissions.

Scope of this issue:

   - *2005-2021 (16 years: GOOD behavior)*
   copyDirectory was added in 1.1 and has worked properly up until the
   release of 2.9.

   - *2021-2022 (1.5 years: BAD behavior)*
   Versions since 2.9 have been broken; this bug has only been in
   circulation for as long as 2.9 has been readily available.

First, I'll do some investigation as to what differences this change has on
Unix systems, if any.  I'll be back with my findings.
