----------------------------------
Summary: revert as root always notifies for files
Key: SVN-4622
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-4622
Project: Subversion
Issue Type: Bug
Components: libsvn_subr
Affects Versions: all
Reporter: Philip Martin
Priority: Minor
$ svnadmin create repo
$ svn import -mm repo/format file://`pwd`/repo/f
$ svn co file://`pwd`/repo wc
$ umask 0022
$ sudo svn revert wc/f
Reverted 'wc/f'
The function svn_io__is_finfo_read_only() will check the world permissions when
invoked with uid=root. A typical umask removes world write so this means that
root sees every file as read-only. This causes the revert code to invoke
svn_io_set_file_read_write() and notify. However svn_io_set_file_read_write()
sets the owner permissions, an operation that succeeds when run as root, and
obeys the umask so the world permissions remain read-only.
