Hi,

I committed a new file (tutorial-basic.fr.svg) to the CVS, but after committing I realized that the file permissions only allow root to read the file:

-rw------- 1 root root 230925 apr 23 21:20 tutorial-basic.fr.svg

So my question is: after a chmod + commit, will the permissions of the file in CVS change appropriately?

CVS really only retains the execute bit. The files in the CVS repository themselves are always either -r--r--r-- or -r-xr-xr-x.

On checkout, I think the permissions you get in your working copy are:

( repository_perms | 0222 ) & ~umask

It might actually force its own umask to 0002; I forget the exact behavior at the moment.
