Hello, I have seen the following behaviour.
added binary file to SVN with property svn:executable executable bits are then set on the file checked in the file added a branch which included the file modified the file in TRUNK merged the change to branch the executable flag on the file is then gone however when I commit the merge the executable flag of the file is again being set Is this the correct behaviour (is the executable flag supposed to be missing after a merge - and then added when the file is actually committed)? The behaviour is different for non binary executables (the executable bits are always set in this case). The SVN version I used was 1.6.6 on Ubuntu 10.0.4. The filesystem on which the working copy resides is EXT4. I hope someone can clear this up for me. Thanks, Matthias
