Well that doesn't automatically promote your user to root, which is a
good thing - otherwise everybody could get root access to your server in
that way!
two solutions: either you change the owner of your subversion root to
nobody (and move it outside of /root, this directory is not readable for
other users, even if you chmod a directory inside it it isn't read
because the parent is prohibited), or you take a look at the command "sudo".
