File permissions

[Witold Rugowski <ru...@nhw.pl>]

Hi!
Is there some easy way to store full file permissions, with ownership, 
to avoid changes after update/checkout/revert? I did read through 
svnbook, but did not find any similar functionality other than 
svn:executable, but this not solves all my problems

I wrote wrapper with perl and using own property to store permissions, 
but I wonder whether I did bash open door?

You didn't reply to the list, so I'm sending this reply there so  
others can benefit from the discussion.

I agree—building from source and keeping the patch up-to-date with  
the latest source can be a headache.

And indeed the readme for the meta-data-versioning branch says one of  
the objections was that others said it should be implemented as  
wrappers, not in Subversion, so your wrappers may be both the better  
way and the easier way to go.

There is either some aversion to including this functionality in  
Subversion, or some uncertainty as to how best to do it. In any case,  
it's not there now.

Someone patched Subversion to provide this feature; it's the "meta- 
data-versioning" branch if you want to try it out:

http://svn.collab.net/viewvc/svn/branches/meta-data-versioning/

Be sure to read its readme.

versioning/README.TXT
