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 Alfred M.
