Newbie question

Hello,

I'm using the following:

CentOS v5.3
subversion-1.4.2-4.el5_3.1

The subversion pkg was downloaded from the CentOS repo. I know that this
version is waaay behind the code release, but that's what we have for
the moment. If my problem has been fixed in a later version, then I'll
update for sure. My problem is that I'm losing the group id on files
when checked out from the repo.

As a root user, the dir/files I intend to import as a tree are listed
here. Please note that the group id name either root or users:

drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Aug 24 09:30 bin/
drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Aug 28 14:21 inputs/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root users 4096 Aug 24 09:30 lastseen/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 24 09:29 lib/
drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Aug 24 09:29 masterfiles/
drwx------ 2 root users 4096 Aug 24 09:30 modules/
drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Aug 24 02:39 outputs/
drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Aug 24 09:30 ppkeys/
-rw-r--r-- 1 root users 1024 Aug 24 09:30 randseed
drwxr-xr-x 2 root users 4096 Aug 24 09:30 reports/
drwx------ 2 root users 4096 Aug 24 09:30 rpc_in/
drwx------ 2 root users 4096 Aug 24 09:30 rpc_out/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root users 4096 Aug 24 09:30 state/

When I do a svn checkout of the tree, the listing shows that copy
inherits my root id (uid=0(root) gid=100(users) groups=100(users)):

drwxr-xr-x 3 root users 4096 Aug 28 15:15 bin/
drwxr-xr-x 3 root users 4096 Aug 28 15:15 inputs/
drwxr-xr-x 3 root users 4096 Aug 28 15:15 lastseen/
drwxr-xr-x 3 root users 4096 Aug 28 15:15 lib/
drwxr-xr-x 3 root users 4096 Aug 28 15:15 masterfiles/
drwxr-xr-x 3 root users 4096 Aug 28 15:15 modules/
drwxr-xr-x 3 root users 4096 Aug 28 15:15 outputs/
drwxr-xr-x 3 root users 4096 Aug 28 15:15 ppkeys/
-rw-r--r-- 1 root users 1024 Aug 28 15:15 randseed
drwxr-xr-x 3 root users 4096 Aug 28 15:15 reports/
drwxr-xr-x 3 root users 4096 Aug 28 15:15 rpc_in/
drwxr-xr-x 3 root users 4096 Aug 28 15:15 rpc_out/
drwxr-xr-x 3 root users 4096 Aug 28 15:15 state/

So my question is, how can I maintain the correct user permission on
dir/files when checked out?

Regards,
d
