Importing/Adding files _and_ permission/ownership attributes?

Hi,

is it possible to have not only the file name/content checked it but 
additionally also the current permission and ownership of the file?

I'm import from unix and checking out to a unix filesystem and would 
like to retain the permission/ownership of files (given that the user 
I'm checking out has the proper permission to do so in the first place).

thanks,
- Markus

Did you notice the gigantic thread about this topic, also on this list, 
taking place this week?  :-)

The answer is:  Subversion doesn't capture ownership or perms when files 
are imported into the repository... the only exeception to this is the 
svn:executable property.

Unfortunately no answer yet, still haven't found any information on it.
Anyone? ;)
