They have nothing to do with the readonly versions in the working copy, they only record the permissions of that revision (their only current use is to record the executable status for unix scripts). Do not remove these lines or edit repository files directly. The file format is relatively simple but if you don't know what you are doing you can lose the entire file. Tony
