If you're using a berkeley-db repository you have to make sure the web-server user has write access to the whole repository directory tree.

 $ chown -R apache /home/bp/subversion/br

Did this help?

Thanks for the fast response.

In the mean time I found the problem.

Since the files are in my home directory and the umask is 002, after some changes to repository the permissions of files under repository got changed and Apache had problems.

Cheers,
