Yeah I've often wondered what this 'executable' property is supposed to
do cross-platform between windows and *nix boxes; if I have a script
marked executable on linux and it goes into svn with the executable
property and I check it out on windows what happens? Does it change the
extension? To what?
:)
Now what I'd like to see is autoprops applied to this sort of thing; I
already have a couple of perl scripts which create/update svn
properties to reflect filesystem mode, uid, gid (on Linux) but they
have to be applied by hand.
