    The default folder permissions are 0755 on Linux. If you're asking whether or not you should change folder permissions to something other than that, the answer is almost certainly "no."

    Update: It sounds like you have an ownership issue based on your comments. To change ownership to your user and your user's group, use the following:

    chown -R youruser:youruser /path/to/svn/working/dir

    So for your case, if your username is yosef and you had used svn co in /home/yosef/some_svn_repo_you_checked_out, your command would be:

    chown -R yosef:yosef /home/yosef/some_svn_repo_you_checked_out
