I ran into a similar problem so I wrote a perl script:
open(SVNEXPORT, "svn export --force ... |");
while (<SVNEXPORT>) {
my($flag,$file)=split(/\t/);
chmod 0600,$file;
}
The only issue one runs into is if the permissions vary. Then perhaps the
repository would have to reflect that.
Repos/0600/etc
Repos/0755/etc
Then something like this may work:
open(REPOSLS,"svn ls repos |");
while (<REPOSLS>) {
$perm=$_;
chomp($perm);
open(SVNEXPORT, "svn export --force repos/$perm |");
while (<SVNEXPORT>) {
my($flag,$file)=split(/\t/);
chmod $perm,$file;
}
}
That way a config file is not needed to manage the config files... So to
speak.

Subject: Q: preserving file ownership/permissions?
I want to use subversion to manage config files in a cluster. The
servers were historically maintained by hand so the configs have drifted
apart. The goal is to eventually have a single identical config on all
the servers but for practical reasons this won't happen overnight.
My plan is to have a trunk for the "ideal" config. Each server will
initially be imported into a branch using the in-place-import technique:
http://subversion.tigris.org/project_faq.html#in-place-import
I'll then use svndiff and svnmerge until the branch equals the trunk, at
which point I'll use svnswitch. Then the server will be managed under
the trunk. Everything sound good so far?
My problem is that some configs need specific UNIX ownerships and
permissions. For example, 0600 is needed by several config files.
Subversion naturally doesn't preserve platform specific information like
that.
Has anybody written anything that ties into the svn:props and/or
repository hooks that does what I want? I really want to avoid
additional steps after checkout (eg, fixperms.sh or something equally
cumbersome).
