Going between *nix and windows systems, it seems every file windows touches gets an execute bit set. SVN handles this by having an svn:executable flag you can set on files. When checked out on a system with *nix-like permissions, the file gets the execute bit flipped, otherwise not. I like fossil keeping track of my actual permissions, but maybe add a `fossil chmod [+-]x filename` for windows only? On windows, the execute bit would be off on new files, untouched on modified files unless they've been fossil chmod'ed. -- Joshua Paine LetterBlock: Web applications built with joy http://letterblock.com/ 301-576-1920 _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
