To set the executable attribute of a file that's already under version control, set its svn:executable property. $ svn propset svn:executable 1 myshellscript $ svn commit -m "Set the executable bit for that last script." Your Subversion client will set the OS-level executable bit for you. The property value given to the propset command will be ignored. Like other boolean properties, the value will be "*", without quotes.
