group permissions

[Brian Lewis <bs...@uark.edu>]

My users access repositories using the svn+ssh method. They're in groups
named identically to the repository names. After I svnadmin create
reponame, what is the proper way to chown reponame/ to prepare it to be
used by users in the reponame group?

I'm currently using just one common group (for multiple repos) and wrapper scripts for the binaries
svn and svnserve (http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.serverconfig.multimethod.html):

#!/bin/sh
umask 0012
export LC_ALL=POSIX
dir=/usr/local/bin
$dir/svn "$@"

But I'm clueless how to use a group per Repo.

Hope this helps a bit,
	Marcus

I do not know my setup to be correct.

I created a wrapper svnserve script:

#!/bin/sh
umask 002
/opt/svn/bin/svnserve.svn $*

For the repository permissions and ownership, I executed an
approximation of the following:

umask 007
svnadmin create ${repo}
chown -R svn:${group} ${repo}
chmod -R g-w $repo/conf $repo/hooks

Basically, this reserves the ability to write to conf and hooks to the
single 'svn' user, which is our admin user.

Thank you,

Bob
cd $repo
