There is built-in support for keeping this attribute.
But there are two ways to work around this limitation:

1) Use the 'asvn' script instead of 'svn', see
   https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/contrib/client-side/asvn
   This script requires bash so you need cygwin to run it on windows.

2) Set the svn:needs-lock property on the file. The file will be marked
   read-only upon checkout. Running 'svn lock' on the file will make it
   writable, and after commit the file will be read-only again.
