"man" is your friend :-)

From ssh(1):
/etc/ssh/sshrc
        Commands in this file are executed by ssh when the user logs in
        just before the user's shell (or command) is started. See the
        sshd(8) manual page for more information.

$HOME/.ssh/rc
        Commands in this file are executed by ssh when the user logs in
        just before the user's shell (or command) is started. See the
        sshd(8) manual page for more information.

From sshd(8):
        8. If $HOME/.ssh/rc exists, runs it; else if /etc/ssh/sshrc
             exists, runs it; otherwise runs xauth. The ārcā files are
             given the X11 authentication protocol and cookie in standard
             input.

So you could create a /etc/ssh/sshrc or $HOME/.ssh/rc (the former is
systemwide and thus better suited) on the server which sets the umask. But
note that setting an alias propably won't work as setting the alias will
propably only be in effect WITHIN the rc file but as soon as that process
terminates the alias is gone again (this is a guess, though... correct me if
I'm wrong).

I guess this could also be mentioned in the SubVersion FAQ: using
/etc/ssh/sshrc seems to be a cleaner solution than wrapping svnserve with a
script (although wrapping guarantees that you'll get the correct umask under
all imaginable circumstances).

C'ya,
