title: SVN commit fails with permission denied using svnserve
body: <p>I have seen a lot of this issue on stack but the fix seems to generally be related to serving a remote svn server with apache.  I'm serving mine using svnserve.</p>
  
  <p>I'm able to check out an svn repository using</p>
  
  <pre><code>%svn checkout svn://my.url.com/test --username justin
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and then entering the password.  I followed <a href="http://odyniec.net/articles/ubuntu-subversion-server/" rel="nofollow">these</a> directions for permissions and <a href="http://programster.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/ubuntu-12-set-up-svn-server.html" rel="nofollow">these</a> directions for setting up and running the server.</p>
  
  <p>When I try to add a simple test.txt file and commit I get the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>svn commit -m "Modified test.txt"
  Adding         test.txt
  Transmitting file data .svn: E000013: Commit failed (details follow):
  svn: E000013: Can't open file '/home/svn/test/db/txn-current-lock': Permission denied
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I think the permissions for the user are somehow incorrect, but I'm unsure of how to fix them.  The repositories are at /home/svn on my remote machine.</p>
