I'm unable to reproduce this (Debian Linux or Mac OS X 10.4), but I
would say that we shouldn't be trying to tweak perms on a symbolic
link. I suspect you'd encounter the same problem if you set
svn:executable on a symbolic link.
I think the real solution here is to either make permissions changes
a no-op on symbolic links or forbid those permissions on symbolic
links altogether. I have no strong opinion one way or another.
Thoughts?
