Hello everyone. I've recently came across this issue that is messing up with some files that i have.

The issue occurs when you change the File Attributes of a file (file properties -> Avanced -> File attributes (i need to have both checkboxes selected). I've changed some, and then commited the changes and all was good, the problem is if you delete the file, and then you updated (so that you recover your file), it comes with different file atributes.

The process is the following,
Original file -> Change the File attributes -> Commit -> All good
Same file -> SVN update -> All good
Same file -> Delete (locally) -> Update (so that i get the file back) -> Not good (File attributes different from original)

Subversion does not store the attributes of files in the repository. So if you delete the file and restore it, your changes to the file attributes are gone.
That's by design: SVN is cross platform, and the file attributes don't have equivalents on other OSes.
