Hi, I'm new to CVSNT so I'm sorry if this question has already been solved/replied (I could not find anything about this in FAQ). I use cvsnt client from a winxp machine to commit a module containing bash script files created on a linux system. The problem is that the execute flag for those script files is removed and thus, when I checkout I have to chmod all those files. The module I'm using is kept on a FAT32 partition; I don't know how linux stores the execute flag for files and if this works only on ext2/3 filesystems. If only those filesystems support the execute flag, then I do not understand why on some CVS modules I checkout from linux (belonging to other projects), the execute flag is already set for script files. Does CVS have some special system for "remembering" those flags ? Anyway, is there a way to commit files, using cvsnt, preserving the execute flag for those files which have them or to set it for those files which miss it (but which should have) ? Thanks, Francesco Montorsi
