svnwrap - Umask wrapper for subversion client commands

svnwrap and this manual were written by Peter Samuelson for the  Debian  Project  (but  may  be  used  by
       others).

                                                   2006-04-21                                         SVNWRAP(1)

       If  you  symlink  the  svn  binary  to svnwrap, as shown in one of the examples, alllocalusers'workingcopieswillalsousethenewumask.  Be sure to warn your users about this, as security-related surprises
       are rarely pleasant.

svnwrap  is a simple shell script to work around permission problems when sharing Subversion repositories
       between multiple local users.  svnwrap can be used either by specifying a  particular  subversion  client
       command  on  the  command  line,  or by invoking it by the same name as the desired client command, via a
       symlink.

       svnwrap sets the umask to 002, then launches the appropriate subversion client command.  For  complicated
       reasons,  this  is  needed  when  using the clients with BDB-format repositories, but not for FSFS-format
       ones.

       To create a new BDB-format shared repository (note that FSFS-format shared repositories  should  also  be
       created this way):

       svnwrap svnadmin create --fs-type=bdb /path/to/repo
       chgrp -R shared_group/path/to/repo

       The following line in /etc/inetd.conf can be used to serve svn:// URLs:

       svn stream tcp nowait my_svn_user /usr/bin/svnwrap svnserve svnserve -i -r /srv/svn

       The following commands enable use of svnwrap for local file:/// and remote svn+ssh:// URLs:

       ln -s /usr/bin/svnwrap /usr/local/bin/svn
       ln -s /usr/bin/svnwrap /usr/local/bin/svnserve

       svn is used for local file:/// URLs, and svnserve is invoked by remote users of svn+ssh:// URLs.
