But Subversion repositories do not have the capability to store file
permissions (with the exception of the executable bit, via the
presence or absence of the svn:executable property).

If files in a working copy have certain permissions, and you check
them into a Subversion repository, then the files in your working
copy will still have those certain permissions. If you don't want
that, you can simply check out a new working copy from the repository
and discard the old one, and all the files' permissions should now be
"normal".
