different subject - ideally it should reference another section.

Whilst Windows style ACL's are NOT versioned the unix "mode" is verioned and 
this paragraph could be interpreted as saying the opposite.  Also this should 
probably discuss symbolic links.

Chapter 16. Special Files
In normal circumstances, cvsnt works only with regular files. Every file in a 
project is assumed to be persistent; it must be possible to open, read and 
close them; and so on. cvsnt also ignores file permissions and ownerships, 
leaving such issues to be resolved by the developer at installation time. In 
other words, it is not possible to "check in" a device into a repository; if 
the device file cannot be opened, cvsnt will refuse to handle it. Files also 
lose their ownerships and permissions during repository transactions.
