[1.2.0, FSFS] db/locks subdirs not inheriting g+s bit?

[Jim Lawton <ji...@gmail.com>]

Hi, 

Apologies in advance for this but I've searched the manual, faq, 
Google and browsed the sources and still can't figure out what I'm 
doing wrong. 

I'm running SVN 1.2.0 on a Linux box (RH7.3, 2.4.20 kernel), with the 
repos stored on an NFS filer. Access to the repos is via svn+ssh:// or 
file://. My umask is 022. 

Everything works fine until I started to use the lock command. When 
I try to lock a file, the svn lock command fails, because the g+s bit is
not set on a subdirectory it has just created in db/locks. The repos 
itself, repos/db and repos/db/locks all have g+s. Commits continue
to work to other files. 

The main reason that the lock command is failing is because our 
admins have implemented disk quotas and so if the g+s bit is not 
set on a directory, any files I try to create in it do not inherit the 
correct quota. The underlying reason seems to be that the db/locks
subdirs do not inherit the g+s bit correctly. 

I've appended a recipe below which demonstrates the problem. If I 
run this on a Linux 2.4 machine, subdirectories of db/locks are created 
without the g+s bit. If I run it on a 2.6 machine, it works fine. 

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Just in case anyone else experiences similar problems, the solution was
arrived at by building SVN from source (I had been using RPM packages). 
The build process is straightforward.
