Changing permissions on files in the repository
I'm sure this question must have been asked before, but I haven't had
much luck googling for the answer or searching in the mailing list
archives, so I hope someone can help me out.
My problem is that I checked some files into my Subversion repository
and now I want to change the permissions on them such that next time I
check them out these files are neither group nor world readable.
Simply chmodding the files and then doing `svn ci' doesn't achieve
anything.
My question: is there a simple solution?
Ta,

I know I've had some chats about it with folks. Major concerns
involved security, IIRC. Don't remember much more about the
discussions, though.

I'm curious if client-side scripting has been discussed amongst the
developers. It'd be kind of nice to have the svn command hook into
scripts to do this kind of thing, instead of making a wrapper for svn.

Depending on what you classify as a simple solution you could possibly
get the desired effect by using a wrapper script that sets the umask to
block group and other access (haven't tried it myself so may or may not
work) the other approach is to use svn properties to record what the
file permissions should be and have a script that does the chmod after
a checkout. Have a look at

for a version I wrote last year.

No, svn has no system for preserving permissions, or tweaking them. The
only feature that is "close" is setting the svn:executable property,
which causes files to be +x in the working copy.
