Hmmm, darcs doesn't seem to handle any kind of meta data: http://darcs.net/DarcsWiki/FrequentlyAskedQuestions#head-f6690ca8f72ee57532b... Experimenting with a local repo, it looks like everything is created 0666 (modulo umask), so I can fix this in the darcs repo, but this won't have any effect on checkouts. GHC's darcs-all suffers from this, too, and nhc98 comes with a 'start' script (which we should probably add, too). Cheers, S.

How disappointing. Still, --set-scripts-executable might be enough for us.

Yes, darcs does not normally transmit permissions from repository to repository. However I notice that darcs get --set-script-executable exists since at least 1.0.5. But in any case, the provision of a simple post-checkout shell script to initialise permissions, graft sub-repositories etc, is easy and more fool-proof. Regards, Malcolm
