Because pserver is *one* process accessing the RCS files. I'm talking
about scenarios where people set CVSROOT to just plain old path on
local disk. This is how CVS used to work before it had a network layer.

A bunch of people using svn+ssh:// is *exactly* the same as these
people all logging in to the machine and reading/writing the
berkeley-db files directly. There is no "gateway server" like pserver
or apache. Thus someone with a weird umask can break access for
everyone else.
