I have a cvs repository (version 1.12.13) on my debian linux box, since

set, while others don't:

Do those permissions
mean anything to the repository?
Only sort-of: CVS sets the execute bits on a newly-created repository
file from the working file and copies the execute bits from the
repository file to the working file on checkout.
Can I just do
find . -type f -exec chmod 444 \{\} \;
on the repository and be done with it?
As long as you don't have any files in the repository that really should
be marked executable, that's fine.
There were a few, but they are all in the scripts directory.
It appeared to work, I changed the directory permissions to 755.
Thanks,
Eric
