> Thanks Brane, you are right, the read-only items are in a sub-folder that is copied in as part of the setup (and then set as read-only). Some of the run time files are stored outside the source tree and then copied in to the required locations before building the setup executables.

Yes, it's worth fixing, because it's a bug. :) If we have the
--remove-unversioned option and it happens not to work because we fail
to clear the read-only bit on files within unversioned directories,
well, we should fix that.
Can you file an issue in https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/SVN please?
