Subversion doesn't version file attributes.

Subversion does only set the execute bit if you have set the property
svn:executable on the files which should be executable. I didn't ever
read that svn add sets this property on it's own if the added file is
executable, but you can easy test by looking at the properties. If
there's noe svn:executable, the executable bit was not set by svn
during checkout.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
