[issue816] revert doesn't revert perm changes

[Vincent Danjean]

New submission from Vincent Danjean <vdanjean.ml at free.fr>:

Hi,

  Here is a Debian bug (#427060, http://bugs.debian.org/427060 )
that shows that mercurial does not handle correctly permissions
with the revert operation.

  I add a small typescript that show how to reproduce this kind of
problem with mercurial 0.9.5

  Best regards,
    Vincent
