Bryan,
Sorry if my last post was not 100% clear. What I was suggesting is that
the following procedure should work (in my opinion) :
$ svn co file.sh
$ chmod u+x file.sh
$ svn ci file.sh
I believe the above should be made to work because a change to the
properties of a file using chmod should be treated in the same way as an
edit to the file contents.
Tim.

What do you mean? Property changes can be committed in any revision -
but if you set a property to a value it's already set to it's not a
change. Note that unsetting svn:executable is done with 'svn propdel
svn:executable', not 'svn propset svn:executable 1' - the value of
svn:executable is replaces with *, only its presence matters.
