Permissions for .sh files set incorrectly

Description
I downloaded 1.40.0 and started to build on my mac, but "./bootstrap.sh --help" gave me back "command not found" in Terminal. It turned out that the permissions for bootstrap.sh were wrong (executable bit not set), so I had to "chmod 755 bootstrap.sh" first.
Cheers!

The permissions for all the .sh files were incorrect, so I had to "find . -name '*.sh' -exec chmod 766 {} \;" before it would build successfully

I checked the 1.41 beta1 and the permissions on bootstrap.sh, and the other key building scripts are correct. But there are many other, i.e. library specific, shell scripts that don't have the permission set correctly. This means that the library maintainers need to set the svn properties correctly.
So, Beman, it might be OK to consider this fixed for now.
Is this fixed for 1.41 already?
