merging executable binaries
Hello,
I have seen the following behaviour.
added binary file to SVN with property svn:executable
executable bits are then set on the file
checked in the file
added a branch which included the file
modified the file in TRUNK
merged the change to branch
the executable flag on the file is then gone
however when I commit the merge the executable flag of the file is again
being set
Is this the correct behaviour (is the executable flag supposed to be
missing after a merge - and then added when the file is actually
committed)?
The behaviour is different for non binary executables (the executable
bits are always set in this case).
The SVN version I used was 1.6.6 on Ubuntu 10.0.4. The filesystem on
which the working copy resides is EXT4.
I hope someone can clear this up for me.
Thanks,
Matthias

The short explanation for the wrong rev number is that you have to add
840074 to it first. The long explanation can be found at
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/README.
Issue 3475 appears to have been for "svn patch" rather than "svn
merge", but it's more or less the same problem. It looks like this is
the diff that fixed the issue for svn patch:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/subversion/trunk/subversion/libsvn_client/patch.c?r1=879495&r2=879496&pathrev=879496
Something similar would probably fix the problem for svn merge as well.

Posted by Matthias Weyh <m....@technisat.de>.
It seems that there is already a report present at
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3475 for this issue.
The revision for the fix however seems to not match the revision on
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/.
Can you tell me how to find out what was changed and if the patch is
already included in one of the later subversion releases?
Thanks,
Matthias

AW: merging executable binaries
Posted by Matthias Weyh <m....@technisat.de>.
Hello,
I have added a command list for reproducing the issue.
Please note the last commit message. At this point the executable flag
is missing. It is however recovered on the commit.
best regards,
Matthias

It's not clear to me exactly what you did. (The most unambiguous way to
explain yourself is to post a list of commands, starting from 'svnadmin
create'.) However, if you run 'svn merge' and at the end of the
operation a file has svn:executable set, then its +x permission should
be set --- and if not, that's a bug.
