Re: Should svnserve set umask to 002?

 Right. The umask is a policy decision, and one that our tools should stay

Absolutely.

 It is perfectly fine to do something like:
 
 $ cat mems-serve
 #!/bin/sh
 umask 002
 exec svnserve $*
 ^D
 $ chmod +x mems-serve

This is, as a matter of fact, exactly what i do:

18 ~% cat /usr/local/bin/svnserve
#! /bin/sh
umask 002
exec svnserve.real $@
