[cvsnt] Re: Loose execution permission when tag or commit a file

Dear Christophe,

this can happen if you switch from a CVS to a CVSNT server,
since CVSNT does not use the (Unix) permission bits to store the
access righs, but store the access rights as information in the RCS file;
cf. my email: http://list.nodomain.org/pipermail/cvsnt/2006-January/023202.html

You can preserve the execution bit by carrying out a "forced commit": cvsnt ci -f
on all files with execution bit set in the older cvs repository.

Best regards
              Jan Giesen

I user cvsnt on a redhat server.
I have imported file for older cvs repository.
Some files have the execution bit (a+x)
Chekout from other linux client works fine (i mean the file permission is
a+x)
but if i put a tag (from linux or windows client) the permemssion bot of
the file is loosed on the server

The cvs server version is :
Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.5.03 (Scorpio) Build 2151
(client/server)

Any idea ?

Thx
Christohe
