The umask 002 seems to do what I want. The problem is, I'm not sure if all users will do it every time they create a new directory.
Is there nothing that can be done as root such that the user doesn't have to enter umask 002?

svnwrap
SVNWRAP(1) General Commands Manual SVNWRAP(1)
NAME
svnwrap - Umask wrapper for subversion client commands
SYNOPSIS
svnwrap {program} [args...]
DESCRIPTION
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.
EXAMPLES
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.
BUGS
If you symlink the svn binary to svnwrap, as shown in one of the examples, all local users' working copies will also use the new umask. Be
sure to warn your users about this, as security-related surprises are rarely pleasant.
