There is a whole paragraph dedicated to filesystem permissions, the problems
they can cause and the available workarounds in the book.

Also note that there might be several users involved: the OS's user, the
Subversion user (defined by svnserve's or Apache's user database) and
possibly the OS's user finally performing the operation (Apache and svnserve
both usually run as a dedicated user). Which combination applies depends on
the access method you used (file/svn/http[s]/svn+ssh) but you didn't tell us
which that was.

Finally, some behaviour depends on the storage backend (FSFS/BDB) and the
operating system.
