For the record, I added this cron job: 37 * * * * root chmod g+rw /srv/svn/*/db/rep-cache.db
to vcs:/etc/cron.daily/sv in order to avoid the svn bug that causes the error: svn: attempt to write a readonly database on some commits. (There have been several user reports about it, and I just ran into it again myself. I trust it's fixed in the current version of subversion, though I didn't check.) k
