[M3devel] cvsup and "flags"

[Jay]

Um, these "flags" that cvsup is willing to traffic:
 
  1) They are the same between machines that support them?
   Maybe, maybe not, I can check.
 
  2) They are actually interesting? Given that many operating systems (e.g. Linux, Solaris) don't support them?
 
 
They seem a little dubious.
I suppose most cvsup users have both client and server on FreeBSD and if the FreeBSD source itself needs these flags on source controled files, it is useful.
 
 
Even storing an executable bit in cvs seems not portable..but that is a different set of flags. (NTFS ACL should be reasonable superset, but then, FAT?)
