Could it be that accessing repository over file:// resets ownership of the
database or directories, and after apache is not permitted to access the
repository?

With fsfs you don't notice this since every revision (delta) is stored in a
separate file, and you do not need to write thas file any more, right?

Similar, when we run subversion over svn+ssh://, the Subversion Book says our
repository has to have permissions for group to write into it -- if we want
every user to commit under his/her own name. And the server runs under umask
002 so that new files remain group writable.

Why? FSFS is nice -- you just look into db/revs/, and immediately see what
revisions you have there, and rsync shows you what has been backed-up.
Honestly, I do not see any charm in big f(l)at databases... ;).
