SVN and perms

[jdawgaz at cox.net]

you can do that in properties. you can set any property you want -- just make one up. like perms:rwxr-x--, or owner:joeuser, or group:newbie or just any old thing. just make sure you are not using a property that already exists.

my guess here is that you can have a hook that reads what permissions of the file are, and its owner (like ls -l file | awk ....)
and set the properties going in.

i would advise not setting owner and group on the way out however.
