File owner/group

[Troy Cregger <tc...@kennedyinfo.com>]

Hi,
I was trying to find the answer to this in the book but didn't see 
anything about it, is there a way I can preserve the owner/group values 
of the files that I check into subversion?

Some of my files need to be owned by apache for instance. When I check 
them out, the owner becomes me.

Thanks

Vanilla Subversion does not preserve permissions or ownership. There  
is a branch of Subversion that does. You would have to read about it  
or compile it yourself and see if it does what you need.

You can't change ownership on many systems without being root. The
owner/groups comes from the uid/gid under which you create (check out)
the file.

That being said I record user/group/mode info in the svn properties
for the file and then use a script (run as root) to extract that info
and apply it to the files. Alterntively, you could do your checkouts
as apache when you are in the apache tree.
