working copy (live website) shared by multiple users

I'm working with two others on the ongoing maintenance of a live
website (for a university course). We each make our changes in a
local (private) working copy, and only run "svn update" on the copy
on the server. The server is some recent-ish version of Solaris, and
runs svn 1.2.3.

We're having problems though, because the permissions in the .svn
directories will frequently prevent anyone but the owner of the file
from changing it. The versioned files themselves don't seem to have
this problem as often. Our current solution is an update script that
runs chgrp and chmod recursively on the site, first changing the
group of all the files and then changing the permissions bits on all
of them, but this seems less than optimal.

I saw the bug report for Issue 1509, that seems to indicate sharing
the working copy has been supported since svn 1.1. What might we be
doing wrong? Has anyone come up with a more "proper" way of handling
this situation?

Thanks,

Mark
