File Permissions

[Robert Paulsen <ro...@paulsen.homeip.net>]

Hi,

Using subversion 1.1 on Linux (SuSE 9.3).

How do I preserve file permissions when files are imported or checked in to an 
svn repository?

I have files that are

	-rw-r-----

But when exported from svn are

	-rw-r--r--

Thanks

Bob

You could use asvn (http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/contrib/ 
client-side/asvn):

#    Description:
#    Archive SVN (asvn) will allow the recording of file types not
#    normally handled by svn. Currently this includes devices,
#    symlinks and file ownership/permissions.
#
#    Every file and directory has a 'file:permissions' property set and
#    every directory has a 'dir:devices' and 'dir:symlinks' for
#    recording the extra information.
#
#    Run this script instead of svn with the normal svn arguments.

Of course, svn now supports symlinks on *nix, so changes might be  
necessary to have asvn use the built-in support.  Not that using the  
pre-1.1.x technique would hurt I suppose.
