you can do that in properties. you can set any property you want -- just make one up. like perms:rwxr-x--, or owner:joeuser, or group:newbie or just any old thing. just make sure you are not using a property that already exists. my guess here is that you can have a hook that reads what permissions of the file are, and its owner (like ls -l file | awk ....) and set the properties going in. i would advise not setting owner and group on the way out however. jerry ---- "der.hans" wrote: > moin moin, > > it seems that SVN doesn't preserve permissions on files. > > It does have a way to set the execute bit, but nothing else. > > It also doesn't save ownership or timestamps. > > For those who need to maintain permissions and ownership, how do you do > it? > > Do you run a post-checkout/-update script that goes through and resets > perms and ownership? > > ciao, > > der.hans > -- > # https://www.LuftHans.com/ http://www.CiscoLearning.org/ > # "It is appallingly obvious that our technology exceeds our humanity." > # -- Einstein > --------------------------------------------------- > PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us > To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: > http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
