Yes, this is a problem we still haven't solved. I think the simplest thing would
be to do what CVS does -- namely, set umask to 002 internally, and tell users to
chmod g+rwXs on n all directories in the repo. Maybe "svnadmin create" could do
that for us?
Alternatively, this could be controlled by a server-side config option -- it's
not something that has to be communicated back to the client.

Apart from the restriction that the repository must be on a local disk (e.g.,
"local" access over NFS is impossible)? The permission problems may well have
been causing the lock-ups; the other p[robable cause interrupting svn (^C) while
it's fiddling with the repository (aargh, we really, really should find a way to
avoid fix that).
