[sshfs] [patch] workaround=umask Using svn client inside sshfs

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Hello!

I want to use svn on a remote machine where svn is not installed. 
So simple solution: mount via sshfs and use local svn. But it does not 
work because svn uses weired file permissions inside its .svn

svn co svn+heft:///test/trunk .
svn: Can't open file '.svn/empty-file': Permission denied

ls -l .svn/empty-file
-r--r--r--  1 chris chris 0 Apr  7 16:23 .svn/empty-file

So I created a workaround to force read/write permissions on all files.

Using sshfs -o workaround=rename:umask makes svn going.
