    <p>My Cygwin SVN client changed behavior regarding Windows ACL between version 1.6.17 and 1.7.4.</p> <p><strong>[ UPDATE:</strong> SVN 1.7.4 and 1.6.17 have the same behaviour actually. The problem lies elsewhere. What I didn't get is the point where it stopped working, probably a Cygwin update. <strong>]</strong></p> <p><strong>[ UPDATE:</strong> The Cygwin-built SVN client actually honors the <code>svn:executable</code> keyword by setting the executable ACL bit for the current user. The mention "has not effect under Windows" in the SVN book has to be taken with caution. <strong>]</strong></p> <p>Running a check-out with 1.7.4 sets all extracted files to read-only for the current user. For instance, and that's what is annoying in my specific case, it does not set the execute flag for batches. In the file properties, the Security tab ticks <code>Read</code> for <code>Everyone</code>, and <code>Read</code>/<code>Write</code> for the current user.</p> <p>Running a check-out with 1.6.17 does not show this behavior. Files are checked out with user-friendly rights, and batches can be executed. In the file properties, the Security tab ticks <code>Read &amp; execute</code>/<code>Read</code> for <code>Everyone</code>, and <code>Modify</code>/<code>Read &amp; execute</code>/<code>Read</code>/<code>Write</code> for the current user, which is what I'd expect from a check-out. That check-out is part of a scripted process, so the environment is the same in both test scenarii.</p> <p>I found no mention of that behavior in svn tickets, and had no luck searching. Most of the results relate to server-side configuration.</p> <p>I'm no ACL/NTFS expert, I did read the Cygwin posix/windows article at <a href="http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html" rel="nofollow">http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html</a>, but that did not clarify the difference.</p> <ul> <li>I tried the svn:executable keyword, but as expected this has no effect under Windows.</li> <li>The same difference happens under Windows 7 or under XP.</li> <li>I noted that TortoiseSVN 1.7.6 (built against "native" SVN 1.7.4) runs the check-out correctly.</li> <li>I have the default fresh-install <code>/etc/fstab</code>, which is empty, and no <code>/etc/fstab.d</code> config.</li> </ul> <p>It's not that I'm unhappy with 1.6.17, but some of the features in 1.7.4 are interesting.</p> <p>How do I solve that weird access rights issue?</p>

    1. COWhy would you use cygwin here? Surely a native svn client is what you need.

    2. CO@DavidHeffernan Agreed. However, the script running the check-out is actually using the Cygwin tooling as a prerequisite. Probably introducing an external svn in the process would do more harm than good, and would complicate the configuration of the platform on which it runs. The script works on remote buildbot workers.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
