retaining directory permissions in repository
Hi,
I've searched the FAQ and mailing lists but I have not found a way to
store directory permissions within the repository.
I have a directory that needs to have 0775 permissions, but Subversion
continues to use the default 0755. I've imported a directory that had
the correct permissions, but when I checked out a clean copy it was back
to 0755.
The reason for this is that I need a directory to be group writeable
when the code is exported. I currently have scripts to changes the
permission after the code is exported, but if there is a way to do this
natively within Subversion, I would rather use it's method.
Thanks in advance,
Cory Wright

Subversion does't support this natively, sorry.

In the thread "Re: Storing /etc in a repository", this contribution got
mentioned:
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/contrib/client-side/asvn
From its comments:
# 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.
You may want to try that out. I haven't tried it myself...
