Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #2790: Executable bit is lost on windows builds.

It is up to each tool maintainer to change this or it must be done by the release process?

As long as svn:executable is set properly, it should be automatic.

version Boost 1.38.0 → Boost 1.45.0
milestone Boost 1.39.0 → To Be Determined

This is a report against the release process. If svn:executable is set, it's lost when the repository is exported on a native windows filesystem, which is why shell scripts aren't marked executable in zip files and 7z files.

This used to come up occasionally but I haven't noticed it recently. That might be because the downloads are more clearly marked as for 'windows' or 'unix'. But I still think it'd be better to have the executable bit set in all releases.
