setting umask

[Mariana Draper <mu...@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

I want to set umask correectly so all the group has permissions to access the repository. As far as i understood, i have to set "umask 002" in the svn startup file so the first thing the svn does is set umask and the runs the program.
My question is... which is the file where i have to add the line "umask 002" ?

Thank you very much,
Mariana.

You move your svn (or svnserve) binary out of the way and install a  
script named svn (or svnserve) which sets the umask and then calls  
the real program that you moved. See the book:

According to http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch06s05.html :
