I told you already about this and wonder why it isn't fixed yet (removing the svn:executable property of Subversion should be sufficient).
If you need a script just ask ...
OK... What does the script do?
Nothing, it doesn't exist yet. But once written it could find affacted files with wrong permissions and fix these.
Obviously I would prefer something that does the svn manipulations. I would also love it if I could run it on Windows so I could more easily verify with tsvn what the changes to the repo it's going to do.
OK, let me restrict to the simple find and svn tools which should have counterparts on your system. $ find -type f -iname "*.html" -exec svn propdel svn:executable "{}" \; simple finds all files (-type f) with end with ".html" (case insensitive, -iname "*.html") and executes "svn propdel svn:executable" on it to delete the svn:executable property. It should be simple to replace this with commands available for you. Otherwise I suggest you obtain Cygwin from http://www.cygwin.com/ and install it. It will install a minimal set of Linux tools properly packaged for Windoofs. Installation should need only 2-5 minutes. Let's first determine the current number of executable files: $ find -type f -perm +111 | wc -l 2687 Puh, too many! Some of these may be valid scripts, so let's touch only files we know about for sure. Let's fix these according to file suffix: Affected files by name: *.html (864), *.hpp (857), *.cpp (496), *.png (111), *.qbk (63) Change into your trunk directory (which souldn't contain any changes) and start ($ indicates a shell prompt, don't enter it): $ find -type f -iname "*.html" -exec svn propdel svn:executable "{}" \; $ find -type f -iname "*.hpp" -exec svn propdel svn:executable "{}" \; $ find -type f -iname "*.cpp" -exec svn propdel svn:executable "{}" \; $ find -type f -iname "*.png" -exec svn propdel svn:executable "{}" \; $ find -type f -iname "*.qbk" -exec svn propdel svn:executable "{}" \; Only 297 files left :-) Now let's commit after inspecting that "svn status" only reports changes to properties: $ svn ci -m'Removed svn:executable flag from *.html, *.hpp, *.cpp, *.png, *.qbk files' I think all remaining files should be touched later (such as *.rst, *.pdf, ...). The stuff should not need a long time and cleans many broken permissions! PS: The Subversion config file (on Unix: ~/.subversion/config contains a section [auto-props] which can ensure proper mime types and executable flags based on file name). Once properly set there should be not again such a situation. Also inspecting new files bevore an initial commit helps to ensure a proper state. Jens
