I can't get the exact file permissions from the get-file requests -- it only lets me know which ones are executable.  Setting executables to 0755 and non-executables to 0644 would work for all files in my copy of /usr/src except for /usr/src/usr.bin/lex/mkskel.sh (0744) and /usr/src/usr.sbin/pkg_install/tkpkg (0754).  Since they're both executable for root, unless there's an issue, we could probably let it slide and assign them 0755 permissions.

John, All,

Just a quick announce re. "svnup" utility is really exciting/important work-

I wanted to give a shout that I re-focued my shell based c[v]sup workalike, and I'm gunnin' for a basically functional utility this weekend sometime.
The folks managing ctm(1) deltas on the distribution servers, have kicked in some help to make this happen on the server side.

Just to be clear: I'm not trying to compete or confuse- the "svnup" work is terribly important to me- but I (and some colleagues) need a workalike *asap*.

With that, I'll keep driving updates from all around into the wiki page:

Best,
