Users in multiple groups?

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!! I have a question about adding users to multiple groups. Thanks in advance

Using Red Hat and here are the issues:
Example:

Users:
Bob
Mark

Groups:
SystemsAnalysts
BusinessAnalysts

If I am adding a user Bob to both groups (SystemsAnalysts and BusinessAnalysts)

Code:
usermod -G SystemsAnalysts Bob
usermod -G BusinessAnalysts Bob

Seems to be removing the user Bob from SystemsAnalysts group when I add the user Bob to the BusinessAnalysts group.

Is there a limit of groups a user can be in(assuming no)? Or any ideas why I am running into this issue. The only thing I can think of is maybe it has to do with the directory permissions and the group owner of the directory permissions??? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

svn_commit - Sends changes from the local working copy to the repository

SYNOPSIS
array svn_commit (string $log, array $targets, [bool $recursive = true]) DESCRIPTION
Commits changes made in the local working copy files enumerated in the $targets array to the repository, with the log message $log. Direc- tories in the $targets array will be recursively committed unless $recursive is set to FALSE. Note This function does not have any parameters for specifying authentication, so a username and password must be set using svn_auth_set_parameter(3) PARAMETERS
o $log - String log text to commit o $targets - Array of local paths of files to be committed Warning This parameter must be an array, a string for a single target is not acceptable. Note Relative paths will be resolved as if the current working directory was the one that contains the PHP binary. To use the calling script's working directory, use realpath(3) or dirname(__FILE__). o $recursive - Boolean flag to disable recursive committing of directories in the $targets array. Default is TRUE. RETURN VALUES
Returns array in form of: array( 0 => integer revision number of commit 1 => string ISO 8601 date and time of commit 2 => name of committer ) Returns FALSE on failure. NOTES
Warning This function is EXPERIMENTAL. The behaviour of this function, its name, and surrounding documentation may change without notice in a future release of PHP. This function should be used at your own risk. EXAMPLES
Example #1 Basic example This example commits the calculator directory to a repository, using the username Bob and the password abc123 (hopefully, his pass- word is stronger): <?php svn_auth_set_parameter(SVN_AUTH_PARAM_DEFAULT_USERNAME, 'Bob'); svn_auth_set_parameter(SVN_AUTH_PARAM_DEFAULT_PASSWORD, 'abc123'); var_dump(svn_commit('Log message of Bob's commit', array(realpath('calculator')))); ?> The above example will output: array( 0 => 1415, 1 => '2007-05-26T01:44:28.453125Z', 2 => 'Bob' ) SEE ALSO
