Using svn via ssh as a local environment

Question

I'm mounting a server in Ubuntu using Nautilus and FTP. For Facebook development, working on the files on the server makes the development cycle easier and quicker.

I'm trying to set up a "local" svn repository on the server...to do so, I connect to the server using the terminal and ssh and run the commit and update commands.

My problem is, when I do svn update, it changes the file ownership from "ftpuser:psacln" to "root:root"...which is causing problems for apache.

Is there a way to configure the repository, or svnserve, to maintain the file ownership?

Thanks, T
