FileUtils.cp will always preserve the permission of original files even if we passed :preserve=>false.

I think the problem is because:

<         File.open(dest, 'wb') do |f|
---
>         File.open(dest, 'wb', s.stat.mode) do |f|

It is same as cp command.

Thanks,Nobuyoshi. I wondered that also. However, If so, the behavior is different from ruby 2.1.1's document. Also, :preserve=>true or :perserve=>false makes no difference. Is it expected?
