As noted, there's no need to change it back.

Here's a generic script:

#!/bin/sh
# Generic wrapper for svn commands to enforce correct umask
umask 002
cmdname=`basename $0`
exec /usr/bin/$cmdname "$@"

Put that in /usr/local/bin/svnwrap, make it excutable, and create links
for each command you want to wrap:

cd /usr/local/bin
ln -s svnwrap svn
ln -s svnwrap svnlook
ln -s svnwrap svnadmin
ln -s svnwrap svnserve

(Assuming your *real* svn commands are in /usr/bin. Adjust script, PATH,
and links as necessary. No warranty expressed or implied. YMMV. Good
luck, Jim. This message will self destruct when no longer needed...)
