title: Maintaining file permissions across SVN updates?
body: <p>I have a series of python scripts with execute permissions in Linux.  They are stored in SVN.</p>
  
  <p>If I then run <code>svn up</code> to update them, the overwritten files are back to 644 - ie no execute permissions for anyone.</p>
  
  <p>Yes I could just script it to <code>chmod +x *</code> afterwards, but surely there's a way to store permissions in SVN or to maintain them when you update?</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions appreciated.</p>
