+>>>>>> No, my SVN `post-commit` hook runs as `root` (uid) and `www-data` (gid).
+>>>>>> Only `root` user and `src` group have write permissions to my SVN repo.
+

+
+>>>>>>> Ugh, root? My permissions setup is simple, ikiwiki runs as a single

+>>>>>>> all files. --[[Joey]]

+>>>>>>>> What's your user? Please show me result of `ls -ld dir` for
