Both users must have a common group.

If that common group is not the primary group of both users, then you
should:

mkdir somecontainer
chgrp commongroup somecontainer
chmod g+s somecontainer
cd somecontainer
svn co url://to/whatever

That will ensure that the entire wc is created with directories setgid and
group-owned by commongroup.
Once created you can mv the wc out of somecontainer and rmdir somecontainer.

Also, you must not be using the broken apr shipped with apache 2.0.50 and
svn 1.1.0-rc2, or must be using a version of svn which has the workaround
applied (current 1.1.x later than rc2 or trunk). The symptom of this problem
is that all subversion-created directories have the sticky (t) bit set.
