I'm not so sure. I just check with subversion 1.1.4 on the linux box I
am in front of now.

svn up silently changes -r- access to rw when it needs to overwrite a
file.

Of course windows might be different. so might 1.2-rc.

There is also a branch where someone is developing full linux attributes
including owner:group support for subversion so that file perms can be
properly versioned. I guess that this will be as cross platform as
practical. assuming it is finished and merged to trunk.
