good hint, thanks.
As we had some conflicting requirements we pretty much killed all use 
of svn over ssh - and forced people to use HTTP/DAV (even on 
localhost). That  solved 80% of those problems :-)
can you elaborate more on this? [very interested]
Eh not much to elaborate - by removing SSH and direct repo 
access/direct accounts - and only allowing a) svn through
apache (and some backup scripts) the whole per-user umask, group access 
persm etc goes away - there is just the
user ID of the web server and the uid of hte backup and that is it. 
(Though backup and recovery has a bit more
perms than I like (and we get nice certificate based user mngt - which 
is really nice as you aint have to keep no
stinking per user secrets).
