Re: user can't do a checkout of newly created repository

Try cating the files. You need access to everything in

///home/abc/subversion/repository1/db

and ...

///home/abc/subversion/repository1/locks

I'd just do a:

chmod -R svnuser.svngroup ///home/abc/subversion/repository1

As your users create new logs you need permissions to the directory and have all the users have the *primary* group be 'svngroup'. Also your umask needs to be 'umask 02', so you may want to just set it up in the /etc/profile.
