The permissions check *already* applies to the papers directory.
It is applied to all directories in the Mercury cvs repository.

I think the problem is just that the current permissions check only gets
triggered when you modify or add a file, not when you add a new directory.
(The reason it shows up more in the `papers' directory is probably just that
people add new directories there more often.)

So, anytime you add a new directory, please remember to check the
permissions on the newly created directory in the CVS repository
and if necessary fix them manually.
