.subversion default rights

From: Manuel VACELET <manuel.vacelet-abecedaire_at_st.com>

Hi all (transfer from users@ list),

I use subversion (client) 1.0.6 under both Solaris (8) and Linux build
from sources.

Default .subversion directory created by first svn call is bad protected
(probaly using default umask) instead of setting 'chmod 0700'. This
directory that can contains sensible datas (passwords in servers file)
so it have to be well protected by default.

It concerns ~/.subversion/servers that can contains proxy password.

Morever I think a dot file (or directory) should be protected by default
even if there is no 'sensitive' data into. So instead of chmod 0600
~/.subversion/servers, chmod 0700 ~/.subversion should be done.

Hope it helps,
Regards
Manuel
