How do I add execute permission to a file in CVS after it's already been checked in?

Question

I did a google for this question but had no luck.

We use CVS on Linux for software development.

I noticed that one of the scripts I'm working on is missing the execute bit set in the CVS repository.

Is there any way to add the execute bit back to the file? I think it involves modifying the repository directly, but I don't know how to do this.

Thanks for your time.

Modify the permissions of the related ,v file in the repository. Per this article, the file is checked out with the same permissions as the ,v file in CVSROOT.
