My suggestion is that your project should have a "scripts" directory
which is also in the repository. Then you can create a setup script
which should be run every time a new working copy is checked out, or
which could also be run by the post-commit hook after every update.
This way you can define in this script the commands necessary to set
the permissions correctly, and if the procedure ever changes, you just
update the script and check it in. I'm starting to do this on my
projects and think it'll work well. This could be considered equivalent
to the build process done for non-web-site projects to make them work
after checkout. You could even write this script as a makefile if you
really wanted. I personally am using PHP so that we don't have yet
another programming language to think about.
Someone else will have to provide the specifics for doing this in a
Windows shell. For Unix / Linux / BSD / Mac OS X it would of course
just be a set of chmod and possibly chown commands. A PHP script would
also work on Windows, and could, if written properly, be made to work
on both Windows and Unix-like systems.
