[svnbook:tickets] Ticket 187 discussion

[Daniel Sahlberg]

I'm not so sure about this.

Indeed NTFS has a "Read and execute" permission, but Subversion doesn't (as far as I can tell) sent any NTFS permissions.

I tried to trace the svn:executable property and it seems to end up in svn_io_set_file_executable. There is a comment:
[[[
On Windows and OS/2, just exit -- on unix call our internal function which attempts to honor the umask.
]]]

According to my tests, a new file inherits the "Read and execute" permission from the parent directory when it is checked out, no matter the svn:executable property.

I'm suggesting to close this ticket.

This property has no effect on filesystems that have no concept of an executable permission bit, such as FAT32 and NTFS.\[17\]

There is, indeed, a notion of executable permission bit on NTFS. I found this out the hard way. I suggest the following rewording:

This property has no effect on filesystems that have no concept of an executable permission bit, such as FAT32.\[17\]
