As far I remember Subversion doesn't reset permissions on Windows. The
problem that temporary file created in wc\.svn\tmp and inheriting all
permissions from this directory. Then it moved to wc\a\a.txt and keep
the SD when it was created. Solution (2) is create temporary file in
wc\a folder. In this case it will get proper inherited permissions
from wc\a folder. You may try this solution in your test by modified
permissions of wc\.svn\tmp directory.
