I'm using Mercurial 0.7, I'm not sure what's on Xenbits. I see that there's a
0.8 out now -- I don't know if this bug is fixed (assuming it's a bug). If
you search the xen-unstable repo for "rcS" you will see my attempts to
persuade it to pick up the executable bit. I'm not sure why it wouldn't do so
-- perhaps the change in permission doesn't make it past a merge?
Personally, I'd rather that the build system worried about permissions. When
I receive a patch, of course there's no way for that patch to transmit the
appropriate change in permissions -- you have to handle it all out-of-band,
and that seems error prone to me (even if Mercurial could be made to work). I
understand that it's a pain having Mercurial think that the file has changed,
though. Perhaps someone has a solution?
Ewan.
