Re: Securing SVN directories

How is your repository managed? Do you use svn+ssh? If not, you can
set up the permissions in the repository as 644 for files and 755 for
folders. The owner should be the user who is running either the Apache
or svnserve process (depending if you're using http or svn).

If you are using svn+ssh, things are a bit trickier because you need
to have the read/write access on both the owner and group, and the
group needs to be the development group that has permission on these
files. svn+ssh is trickier to setup since each user runs their own
svnserve process on the repository.

You should NOT be using file:// access to the repository.

(BTW, I think hooks scripts must be 755, but I'm not 100% certain this
has to be the case).
