bzr itself try to set chmod bits as 755 or 644 by default if the
server supports it. Try to look at your .bzr.log file for
messages like:

  "FTP site chmod: setting permissions to %s on %s",
  "FTP Could not set permissions to %s on %s. %s",

If you end up with 700, you should also check that your ftp
server support the chmod bits and what umask it is enforcing.

No. I agree that it will be a useful addition.

On the server side.

If you can modify the server settings, yes.

What server are you using ? OS ? Version ? bzr version ?
