Per your Issue Tracker Guidelines, I am seeking somebody who agrees that this is a bug before I submit it.
Overview: For files, 'svn mv' does not properly inherit ACL permissions from the parent directory. Steps to reproduce (from a subversion working directory): 1. setfacl -d -m user:$USER:r-x . 2. touch foobar 3. svn add foobar 4. svn commit -m 'test' foobar 5. svn mv foobar barfoo 6. getfacl barfoo If you check the ACL for barfoo after steps 2, 3, and 4, you will see that it has properly inherited the user:jdoe:r-x permission. After step 5, you will see that barfoo has not. You can circumvent this behavior by using "mv" instead of "svn mv" in step 5. In this case, you need to "svn delete foobar" and "svn add barfoo" before you can commit the move. Details: CentOS release 5.4 (Final), svn 1.4.2 (from yum) I'm not sure what else is relevant, so fire away if you have questions. Mark
