Hi,
I store OS images in svn, so I need to record file permissions and
ownership. For this, I use properties.
But svn changes real file permissions:
# ls -l fstab
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 230 Oct 22 2011 fstab
# svn pg file:permissions fstab
mode=33188 user=(0) group=(0)
# chmod 600 fstab
# svn ps file:permissions 'mode=33152 user=(0) group=(0)' fstab
property 'file:permissions' set on 'fstab'
# ls -l fstab
-rw------- 1 root wheel 230 Oct 22 2011 fstab
# svn commit -m test fstab
Sending fstab
Committed revision 29956.
# ls -l fstab
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 230 Oct 22 2011 fstab
Why svn works like this and what can I do to disable/work around this
feature?
BTW, this is the trace where the chmod happens:
56718 svn CALL unlink(0x804c93ba0)
56718 svn NAMI "/tmp/svn-e21669fe.tmp"
56718 svn RET unlink 0
