Hello Alfred,
Thank you for this report. I don't know why but the permissions on
that one file were incorrect.
drwxrws--- 6 root gnueval 253 Nov 9 11:34 /srv/svn/gnueval/db
I don't know how that directory's permission could have been modified
to this result. I always assume that if this happened to one that it
might happen to others but I ran a find command looking for any other
instance of this problem across all of the other svn repositories and
no other problem case was found. This looks like a solo failure. But
I have no idea how such a solitary failure could have occurred.
Fixed now.
Bob
