patch applet, file access rights.

Hi,
  I recently encountered a situation where a patch was applied to a
bash script using the busybox patch applet. The patched script failed
to execute since its rights had changed from 755 to 644. (my umask
022).

 The included patch allows files to retain their access rights. This
has no effect when an applied patch creates a file.

 regards
   George
