Recursive fcopy and permissions

Hello,

short question:

fcopy -Bir -m root,root,0777

only applies the permissions to files, but not to directories, right? I
agree this makes sense because "fcopy -Bir -m root,root,0666" would make
the directories unusable if it did. But this should be documented more
clearly in the man page, even better there could be a switch for
directory permissions, too.

Bye,
Andreas
