Re: keep Linux file permissions when also working with windows

Subversion does not (yet) version meta-data such as permissions,
attributes or time stamps. If you are just changing content, you'll
be fine but if it comes to tree changes (adds etc.) there might be
trouble.

This is not only true between Unix and Windows - you will have the
same issues with different WCs on Unix.

Do the files in your WC need to have different owners/groups? If not,
a correct umask and the svn:executable property (if necessary via
autoprops) for executable files should do the job.

Kind regards

Sven
