Hi,

I am having trouble as described below. Is there a way I can prevent this or is it a bug? Thanks.

My problem:
A windows exe file is checked into a svn repository and the file name does not end in .exe. On checkout .exe is appended to the file name even though subversion output shows the expected file name.

Example test with Cygwin output (hypertrm.xxx is a exe file renamed for the test case below):

802593373@BTG245549 /cygdrive/c/svn-test-exe 
$ svn list file:///C:/svn-test-repo 
Text Document.xxx 
hypertrm.xxx 

802593373@BTG245549 /cygdrive/c/svn-test-exe 
$ svn co file:///C:/svn-test-repo direxe 
A direxe/hypertrm.xxx 
A direxe/Text Document.xxx 
Checked out revision 2. 

802593373@BTG245549 /cygdrive/c/svn-test-exe 
$ ls direxe 
Text Document.xxx hypertrm.xxx.exe 

===

cygcheck.out is attached.

Thanks in advance,

Alan Burn
