I can understand that. > so if you're editing the file on both it'll tend to get lost. And if I only edit the files that need execute permission on the Linux machines? Is there any other way this could be handled in the future (like keeping track in the repository which files have execute permissions etc... and only letting linux clients change these settings)? Any idea how (or if) people at Sourceforge handle this? They have lots of projects that run both on Linux and Windows and are using configure and make files (which should be executable, and which are causing me some trouble). Koen
