Problems with permissions (changed vith svn commit)

Hello

I'm using Fedora. Until subversion-1.6.18-1 everything was OK.
 From version 1.7.8-1 I have following problem:

# touch testfile
# ls -la testfile
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 0 Mar 21 02:49 testfile

# chmod 600 testfile
# svn add testfile
# ls -la testfile
-rw-------. 1 root root 0 Mar 21 02:49 testfile

# svn -m '' ci
# ls -la testfile
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 0 Mar 21 02:49 testfile

I don't think, that's OK.
I was searching on the net, how to preserve permissions, but didn't find 
anything.
Is any option, to leave permissions as they are while svn commit?

with */strace svn -m '' ci/* I can see 'chmod 644'

best regards, sebastijan

Sorry for late answer.

chmod prevents changing group and others permission.

I'm planning to use svn for /etc/ backup.
Is there any way to tell svn to leave premissions as they are?

Is umask 777 only option?

best regards, sebastijan

Try
# umask 077
(in the same shell, prior to testing)
