Subversion handles everything automatically. As I said, if you "svn
add" a file which has the OS executable bit set (i.e. you have
previously done "chmod +x <file>") then Subversion automatically adds
the svn:executable property to the file. And if you check out a new
working copy (or updating an existing one), Subversion will
automatically set the OS executable bit on the newly-checked-out
files because it sees the Subversion svn:executable property on the
file.
If you have existing files in a working copy which do not have
svn:executable or the OS executable bit set, and you would like them
to, then "svn propset svn:executable '*' <file>" and commit it, and
Subversion will add the OS executable bit.
If there are certain file types which you would like to always have
as executable, define your auto-props in your ~/.subversion/config file.
