This branch only *enables* storing of owner, group, mode and mtime.
To actually save this values in the repository, you'll have to set (eg.) the
property "svn:unix-mode" for the files, so that the code knows that it should
save/restore this value for this file.

To automatically set this property for new files you can use auto-props.

For some more details please look at
http://svn.collab.net/viewvc/svn/branches/meta-data-versioning/README.TXT?view=markup&rev=14236
Don't hesitate to ask if you've got further questions.

For completeness' sake, I ask you to take a look at fsvs.tigris.org; maybe
this fulfills your needs better.

Regards,

Phil
