Then I create the project repository like this `svnadmin create --fs-type fsfs /srv/svn/foo`. Because of the permissions on /srv/svn, foo gets created with "root:svnusers 2755 (or drwxr-sr-x)". If you want more than one group of svnusers (say svnusers1 and svnusers2), then it is probably best to have everyone be a member of svnusers and then the appropriately numbered group for whatever projects they are on. The, you can take away read and execute permissions on foo and change the group to the numbered group you want. To make it so that group members can write to the repository, change into /srv/svn/foo and then execute `chmod -R g+w db/`, which will make it such that members of the group can commit to the repository.
