We fixed a couple of issues resulting from the update of userapps to 1.8 today.
1. Several files were found to be not executable in the new userapps, but were in the old. Problem was that the files did not have the executable bit set in the repository. This was changed and the working directory updated.
2. Several data-like files were missing in the new userapps. These files were not in the repository. We made the decision that since in this case these files are small and critical we went ahead and added them to the repo and updated userapps to get them.
The first issue prompted me to write up a wiki on how svn handles file permissions
