My first reaction was: but wait, what about the file mode? Then I remembered that René offered the opinion that we could easily introduce `--add-executable-file-with-contents` _iff_ we need that at some stage, and when I considered symbolic links, I noticed that the `--add-file` option does not accept those in the first place, so it would be funny if `--add-file-with-contents` supported symbolic links.
