Versions: CVSNT 2.5.03 build 2260 on Linux client and server. A file in the repository (imported from CVS) has the following permissions: -r-xr-xr-x 1 cvs cvs 6777 2006-06-29 11:42 mkconfig,v The file in the sandbox has the same permissions. On the client, if I tag the file using "cvs tag Dummy-tag mkconfig", the permissions on the file in the repository become: -r--r--r-- 1 cvs cvs 6846 2006-07-19 11:16 mkconfig,v The sandbox file still has the execute permission, but if I remove it and update from the repository, the file is not executable any more. The trouble is that this file is a build script, and needs to be executable, so I have to manually restore the execute permissions to use it again. Plain vanilla CVS does not do this. Is it a CVSNT feature and if so how can I persuade it to leave the repository permissions unchanged? -- Tony
