[1.2.0, FSFS] db/locks subdirs not inheriting g+s bit?

Hi,

Apologies in advance for this but I've searched the manual, faq,
Google and browsed the sources and still can't figure out what I'm
doing wrong.

I'm running SVN 1.2.0 on a Linux box (RH7.3, 2.4.20 kernel), with the
repos stored on an NFS filer. Access to the repos is via svn+ssh:// or
file://. My umask is 022.

Everything works fine until I started to use the lock command. When
I try to lock a file, the svn lock command fails, because the g+s bit is
not set on a subdirectory it has just created in db/locks. The repos
itself, repos/db and repos/db/locks all have g+s. Commits continue
to work to other files.

The main reason that the lock command is failing is because our
admins have implemented disk quotas and so if the g+s bit is not
set on a directory, any files I try to create in it do not inherit the
correct quota. The underlying reason seems to be that the db/locks
subdirs do not inherit the g+s bit correctly.

I've appended a recipe below which demonstrates the problem. If I
run this on a Linux 2.4 machine, subdirectories of db/locks are created
without the g+s bit. If I run it on a 2.6 machine, it works fine.

Any ideas would be appreciated.
