I experienced the introduction of ".exe" suffixes when rsyncing a
directory hierarchy with many checked out svn repositories:

File names like freetbl.exe.svn-base were changed on transport to
freetbl.exe.svn-base.exe

I did not investigate whether this behaviour was triggered by
the file magic number or just the ".exe" inside the name
