Exactly. I personally use this generic wrapper for all svn commands:

/usr/local/bin/svn contains:

> #! /bin/sh
> umask 002
> exec "$0.bin" "$@"

after renaming the command to command.bin

By the way, any developer read man umask(2) yet? There is no need to
leave this niusance to script-wrappers I believe. Make it a compile-time
option to stay compatible if you like.
