RE: Setting the Execute Bit on Checkout

Actually, both environments are Windows. The difference seems to be with
TortoiseSVN versus svn.exe.

However, setting the svn:executable property did get the desired
result...which is all that really matters.

Thanks a ton!

I don't use Windows, and I've never used Cygwin, and I don't know how
they interact with each other, but based on what you say, it sounds like
files created in the Cygwin environment get standard *nix permissions of
644, while files that get created in the Windows environment show up in
Cygwin with 700 permissions. You could test if this analysis is correct
by creating a text file in Notepad and touching an empty file on the
Cygwin command line, and seeing what their respective permissions then
are.

To get Subversion to set the execute bit when you check out, you need to
set the "svn:executable" property on the file. See here:
