Re: File Content Type/Executablitiy?

There are a few properties that can be placed on your file that will
solve this issue:

svn:eol-style="LF" or svn:eol-style="native"
svn:executable="*"

When Subversion sees the svn:eol-style property on the file set to
either native or LF, it automatically converts all ^M Windows style
line endings (Which are <CR><LF>) to Unix style line endings (Which
is a plain <LF>).

When Subversion sees the svn:executable property on a file, it makes
sure on Unix like systems that it sets the execute bit when checking
out.

You can use a pre-commit hook to insure that these two properties are
on your shell scripts before permitting checking in the files. And,
you can use the auto-properties in your $HOME/.subversion/config file
to make sure these properties are automatically set when you create a
new shell script.

See <http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.advanced.props.html> for
information about Subversion properties and
<http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.ref.properties.html>.
