Subject: subversion binaries should be replaced through wrapper scripts to prevent
 users of keep on screwing their repositories

Package: subversion
Version: 1.0.9-2
Severity: serious

as the subversion book states, one should create a wrapper script
arround the subversion binaries to keep them from screwing the berkley
db and their file permission.

My scripts look like this one (as suggested in the svn book)

#!/bin/bash
umask 002
/usr/bin/svnadmin.real $@

I don't think, this hurts other access methods, but is essential for
several people working on a repository with svn+ssh/..../....
