Hello List,
I just send the same as feature request into issue tracker but some one
told me that first this should be discussed there.
So.
We are working on SCC provider for SVN and have the following problem.
IDE "likes" when source controlled files are readonly. Than means that
if file
not readonly it does not check it status when user start file editing,
or it
automatically assign readonly after checkin.
I know, this can be considered as IDE issue, however most of IDE follow
that
logic, and as you understand no chance to change them.
We implement some work around this, manually setting and removing the
readonly
flag. However this makes working copy incompatible with standard SVN
client
(any). SVN can not update the readonly files with error like "cannot
copy
file.tmp to file.real_file extension).
What I ask is:
1. Minimal fix
Fix windows svn client to always remove readonly flag for all updated
files before copy.
2. Good minimal fix Remove readonly flag before file update and restore
it later if it was on file.
3. Implement some analog of CVS "Checkout readonly" option to set
readonly flag
for all committed and initially retrieved files from SVN.
I would be happy if you will consider this as useful fix and include
into 1.1
branch.
