What I really want is to change the file permissions on the file
in question (i.e. I executed chmod and now I want the svn co or
svn update to produce the file with those same permissions).

Subversion doesn't appear to recognize file permission changes
as changes to the file. Which is fine, and I'm sure there are
plenty of good reasons for that. I am just trying to work around
that behavior.

Thanks for any information about that.
