Re: Could svn check permissions?

Except that this doesn't belong in subversion, but rather in the database
library itself. It is strictly a BerkeleyDB issue how the permissions on the
files are set. AIUI, the issue is really that each user's logfile is owned by
that user, so that if the umask is wrong, the group rights won't apply. Then
the next user's access gets wedged.

Once subversion has different backends, any code to check permissions like this
will be useless.

My 2 cents...
