What is the purpose of this property on a file that's under Jazz Source
Control? It seems to be set to false with no way to change it. We
thought it might be a means of indicating a files "x" bits should be set
when extracted on a *nix platform.

Thanks, Brian

You're right, its for the executable bit on *nix. There is no way to
change this value in Windows, but on your *nix platforms you can just use
chmod and then check-in the change change that property.
