+Subject: [PATCH] Restore write permissions in tarball
+
+In Nix, the source files are stored in an immutable store and
+therefore have been stripped of write permissions.  When the SSH
+kitten makes the tarfile, the files contained in it are also missing
+the write permissions, causing commands on the remote side to fail.
