In 1.1, both FSFS and BDB repositories will be created with the setgid
bit set on the db directories, so that step will become unnecessary
for any back end. But depending on your primary gid and umask at the
time when you create the repository, you may still need to set the
group ownership and initial permissions appropriately.
With FSFS, it will also be unnecessary to enforce a umask on svn
processes, because FSFS automatically chmods all new rev and rev-prop
files to match the previous ones. (We would, of course, like the
umask issue to go away in BDB as well, but that's waiting for a
possible-far-off BDB enhancement.)

We've talked about adding --user and/or --group options to the
svnadmin create commands to avoid the need to cross the abstraction
barrier during initial setup, but there's been no strong consensus on
those one way or the other.
