Thanks for the responses.
Yes. As I specified in my original post, I set mode 777 on the whole
repository just to make sure. I apologize if it was inappropriate for me to
post this on the dev list, but I thought it might be specifically related to
a bug or development work necessary for subversion to support ZFS.
I would be happy to try some debugging on the problem, but I don't really
know where to start. Anyone have any specific advice on where (what files?
functions?) to insert some debug statements to help verify that this is
actually a code problem, not a configuration problem?
