Just not possible, I'm afraid. The exception is the execute bit of
files, which you can set by setting the svn:executable property of
the file to any value. Other bits are not preserved, however.

There is a branch of Subversion (the owner-group-mode branch) in
which someone made this available, but I don't think the branch has
been kept up to date.
