this is a result of doing cvs add from a Windows machine. Is there any
way to avoid this or, if not, can we flip the executable bits off after
the fact?
As far as I know, the only way how to fix this afterwards is to go fire
a few well-targeted 'chmod -x's directly at the repository *,v files. I
don't remember the details how that change propagates to existing
checkouts, at least "rm foo ; cvs up foo" should do it.
