Needed 'chmod 777' to allow remote commit via http ?

Hello To All,
do I need a 'chmod -R 777 /usr/local/svn/' to allow access from remote
client ?

I setup Apache2 and related files.
Everything works from remote access via http (ie. http://..etc.. and svn
checkout http://..etc.. are ok from remote PC)
but I was not able to commit files because of permission denied on
directory ../db/transactions/*

I resolved this via a chmod -R 777.
But is this mandatory ? chmod 777 is not secure and would like to avoid.
How to proceed ?

My config:
file httpd.conf:
...
<Location /usr/local/svn/repos/documents>
             DAV svn
             SVNPath /usr/local/svn/repos/documents
            AuthType Basic
             AuthName "Subversion Repository"
             AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/passwd/passwords
             AuthzSVNAccessFile /etc/httpd/passwd/svnauthz.conf
             Require valid-user
</Location>
...

file passwords :
[/]
bruno = rw

Thanks for attention.
Bye,
Bruno
