file permissions?

[Phil Lawrence <pr...@Lehigh.EDU>]

I carefully set the permissions for a bunch of directories, then did  
an svn import.

But when I changed to a new directory and then did an svn checkout,  
none of the permissions on the checked out dirs were correct!

Did I miss something, or are unix file permissions not tracked by  
default?  And if not, is there a process whereby I *can* track them?   
I don't mean just whether or not something is executable, I need the  
full chmod stuff.

Thanks!
Phil

The short answer, unfortunately, is that Subversion doesn't do it. 
The slightly longer answer is that if you search for the "meta-data
branch" in the dev list archives, it'll yield some info about a branch
experimenting with this capability, and the philosophical issues over
whether it should be a part of Subversion.
