Depending on what you classify as a simple solution you could possibly
get the desired effect by using a wrapper script that sets the umask to
block group and other access (haven't tried it myself so may or may not
work) the other approach is to use svn properties to record what the
file permissions should be and have a script that does the chmod after
a checkout. Have a look at

for a version I wrote last year.
