[svnbook:tickets] Ticket 187 discussion

[C. Michael Pilato]

As I read this, I believe the OP is *not* suggesting that Subversion behaves any differently than the book describes, but rather that the text misrepresents NTFS as not having a notion of an executable permission bit.  Unfortunately, the proposed fix causes a *different* confusion by allowing an NTFS-knowledgeable person to assume that Subversion will set that bit on NTFS (which, of course, it does not).

Perhaps the text could be changed to read instead:

> This property has no effect on Windows or on filesystems that have no concept of an executable permission bit (such as FAT32).

?

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.\[17\]
