$ svn info file:///export/home/repos/webapps/
svn: 'svn info' only works on working copy paths, not URLs

file:// and svn:// works fine, only http/https do not work. Svn+ssh only
works from localhost, not through TortoiseSVN. I really do not care if svn
or svn+ssh work either, I only really need http/https to work.

The user the web server runs as (svn) is in the group (svn) and so is
everyone who is attempting to access the repository.

What could cause the web server to start with a umask of 022? I mean
besides the user's shell setting umask on login to something other than 002.
All my user's umask are set to 002, including the user running the web
server (svn).
I'm at my wits end here because everyone keeps pointing me to permissions
yet I can find nothing wrong with permissions settings.
Thanks for your help
