I don't think upgrade is resposible. Can you be certain that the files
had the execute bit before the upgrade? Perhaps a bug in the old client
caused the problem before the upgrade? What other operations did you
do after the upgrade?

Upgrade doesn't modify working files, it only modifies the database in
the .svn directory. Upgrade doesn't even look at the working files, it
never accesses them. The working files could be absent, owned by root
and unreadable, replaced by directories, etc. and it doesn't affect
upgrade. I don't see how upgrade could be responsible for the loss of
executable bits.
