File and directories no longer have permissions. People have permission to naming patterns. So if you put a file into a tree or move a tree then those who have permissions to the tree have access to the files. It eliminates the step of having to apply permission after moving files into a tree. You don't have to change file permissions because files no longer have permissions.
