RE: [PATCH] [Issue 870] import should set svn:executable automatically

svn:executable is not a valid concept expect for Unix.

From SVN's point of view nothing requires the svn:executable attribute on
windows.

You must add unix specific code to do this right. From a none Unix OS its a
manual operation to set the attribute. So I can add a shell script and
set it executable from a windows box.

You have to have platform specific code. Maybe an APR call that tells you
if executable bits are supported by the OS.

Indeed after all double click a .TXT file and code runs...

No you should not check this as the idea of svn:executable is not
valid on windows.
