I use Linux, but I imagine the solution is similar for windows. If you
need svnserve (via ssh) to set a root option, then you need to make
svnserve a wrapper script of some sort. So I have:

#!/bin/sh -f
umask 002
exec /opt/subversion/1.2.3/bin/svnserve -r /vol/vol1/sw/svn "$@"

ssh starts the script, which in turn starts the real svnserve.

AFAIK, this is the only way to do it when working via ssh. (Unless
there is a new option in SVN 1.3)
