The need to checkout the site should be very rare, because the normal
process would be to checkout, run your script, adjust the permissions
of folders to be inherited and only update the site. As Subversion
doesn't care of the permissions, it won't change them either.

It wasn't designed to do so.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
