Calan,

Even a "read-only" operation will create a transaction in the database.
Therefore every user that access the svn repo must have write access to
all the files in repo/db

Your best bet is to create an svn group, make all files in the db owned
 and writeable by the svn group, make the db directroy SGID svn, add all
accounts that must access the repo members of svn, and make sure all
repo access is done with a 002 umask.

Hope this helped,

Dominic
