I agree, lots of files *shouldn't* be marked executable, but lots of users just don't care.
I'm trying to protect everyone else from their sloppiness.
That's why I'd like to turn svn:executable off with the autoprops.
If someone *really* needs svn:executable on some file that shouldn't normally have that prop,
they can always override it.

P.S. I poked around a little in the 1.7.2 code, trying to find out where the property was set to "*" regardless of its real setting,
but it didn't pop out.
