Comment:

 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.
