The original PRM skips over this, but I came across the (forgotten) *EX
Both Cat and Ex display the attributes. Ex perhaps a better display.

Yes I dont think there is any low level 'security' regarding
users/groups but if checking or setting permissions it sounds like 
unixlib would be compatible.
If a directory was put in (RO)Lock by way of unix attributes, it would
probably undo the lock in a similar way.

There is strange stuff happening when svnadmin (1.14) creates an fsfs 
repository that doesn't happen on linux. 
svnadmin creates rev/0/0 file but later actions want a rev/0 file but
I think the rev/0/0 is the correct one.
Could be just corruption in the svn fsfs name handling rather than
a permissions issue.

I will set up a linux based svn server and see if the general operations
work then. 

Thanks
