Subversion 1.1 and 1.2 are no longer supported. You should use
Subversion 1.4. David Summers provides newer RPMs for RHEL 4. Looks
like he's up to Subversion 1.3.2, which would still be better than
the 1.1.4 you're using. See the download page:
http://subversion.tigris.org/project_packages.html
Subversion does not version file permissions or ownership. If you
require this, you can build Subversion yourself from the unofficial
"owner-group-mode" branch:
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/branches/meta-data-versioning/
Hooks have nothing to do with what you're trying to do, because hooks
run on the server, but you're asking for something to happen on the
client.
What you want can most easily be accomplished by writing a wrapper
script around the svn checkout. Instead of calling svn checkout
yourself and expecting Subversion to properly set your directories'
permissions, write a script which itself calls svn checkout and sets
the permissions correctly. Then use this script when you want to
check out, instead of running svn checkout directly.
