Dang. The same thing I was strating to work on. I knew I should have announced
I was working on it earlier. Oh well.
My solution had the same basic concept but a few differences I'ld like to
explore.
I put the code into 'svn_wc_add' in 'adm_ops.c'. I believe this does the work
when the 'svn add' command is given which would allow the user to change
'svn:executable' before commiting. If it's done at commit time the user will
have to make another change to fix it.
I'm not sure it's worthwile to check the actual user running svn. Generally
the same command on the same file should behave the same regardless of who
ran the command. If a file is marked as user executable it should be
considered user executable regardless of the user involved. The code is also
smaller and I tend to favor small solutions where possible.
Last I checked Windows considered *.com, *.exe, and *.bat to be executable and
everything else as data. It's been a few years since I cared so I could be
completely wrong by now. Any windows executable is unlikely to work on any
unix and vice versa. We may be better off making all files added on Windows
data and only checking on Unix.
I'm still looking at the testing situation. I think I see how to do it now.
I'll try to get something to Brian if I can figure it out.
