Re: Samba Network Subversion Working Copies Bug

From: R. Michael Richer <mricher_at_mirarco.org>

I have confirmed that I can create, modify, remove, rename, move,
changes filedates,readonly,system,hidden, and archive bits any file...
But still a problem... After hammering on samba for awhile I have also
found the solution. In samba, you can use the following option under
the share:

dos filemode = yes

By the description the smb.conf man page... It looks like TortoiseSVN is
trying to modify actual NT ACL permissions... Under UNIX you need to own
the file to do this, while under Windows, you only require write access
to the file... (or vice versa... Don't remember exactly..)

But anyways, I digress... My problem is fixed with the above on my
samba, don't know how you would want to address it in TortoiseSVN...
(perhaps even a note in the README would work...).

Cheers

Mike
