It's just a paradigm shift. You are used to separating meta-data from data, but many people aren't. On Windows, they try to keep them together. For example, this script still has to chase all the meta-data (e.g., chmod, chown) separately. What if there were ACLs? The script needs to be changed yet again to support copying the ACLs. There are downsides to keeping meta-data divorced from data. --
