svn_load_dirs.pl: Why is it setting svn:executable on everything?

I imported a code drop into our repository with svn_load_dirs.pl, but I
was surprised that it decided to set the svn:executable property on
EVERY file (header files, C files, Makefiles, anything).  I didn't
intentionally set up any set of special instructions for setting
properties (i.e., a configuration file specified with a -p option).

 

Was this a good thing, or a problem?

 

Thanks,

- Scott

Look at the files you imported - svn_load_dirs.pl only sets
the svn:executable property based on what it finds there.

n.b. if you got these files from a Windows file system (FAT),
then the execute permission bit often gets set gratuitously.

Huh ...

It turns out that the tarball I received the code drop in had the
executable bit set for every single file.  The script was just doing
what it was supposed to do, I guess.  I'll have to talk to our OEM about
their code drops...

Thanks!

Yeah, I noticed that too, now that you mention it. I don't see why  
it's doing that especially.
