SVN and read-only files

I am new to subversion. When I do SVN check of the repository, I get all files with the read-only attribute set. I thought SVN works differently and leaves read-write files all the time. I tried removing the RO attribute, modifying the files and committing them, but SVN sets them read-only again.

I am using TortoiseSVN 1.6.5, Build 16974 - 32 bit, 2009/08/20 08:13:46

It had nothing to do with SVN at all, at least not directly.



I have PushOk installed on my machine because we are using CVS for other projects. And PushOk installs the "SCC RW Monitor" service, which sets the RO attribute "for correct behavior of IDE systems". I have disabled control of SVN files and now it works as expected.

Do files have svn: needs-lock property set on them?

I agree with Roger.

You can try to get a lock on the files you want to change. This removes the RO attribute until you unlock the files again. Use TortoiseSVN -> Get Lock ...

To release the lock, commit the files or delete them manually via TortoiseSVN -> Unlock Lock

See chapter 4.21. Blocking in TortoiseSVN Help
