You can't do this with autoprops. (See auto_props_enumerator() in libsvn_client/add.c; and notice the output of a manual 'svn propset svn:executable false'.) Feel free to file a bug about this, and/or submit a patch implementing this.
Concretely, though, README shouldn't be marked executable in the first place. So I suspect the _real_ answer for you is "On Cygwin, use the native Cygwin svn client rather than the Windows one.". :-) On Mon, Jan 9, 2012, at 10:26, Steve Kelem wrote: > I want to turn OFF the svn:executable property for many file types from > inside /etc/subversion/config. > Is there a way to do this?
