i,
Bellow it s post taken from http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2004-04/0444.shtml 
where you say you have a script to preserv filepermission when you check files 
out of SubVersion. It would have solved one problem I have atleast where we use 
subversion to store alot of config files... but it cause issued since 
subversion don't preserv the original permissions.

These are examples of names of properties that you *could* invent for
yourself.
Subversion doesn't preserve permissions or ownership information; it
simply provides a generic metadata mechanism for users to exploit
however they wish.
Ben Reser, I believe, has written a script to do what you're looking
for: when you run it, it "stores" filesystem metadata in the properties
before committing, and also has the ability to read the metadata and
apply it to the files again.

Correct. The svn:executable property makes a file executable. It's the
only sort of permission that svn can understand, because permissions are
inherently un-portable from one OS to another.
