With a little more testing, what I am finding is that when I do a
fresh svn co at work (solaris x86) a lot of files (eg setup.py or the
test*.py files) come down permissioned at 600 or 700.  If I do the
same checkout on a recent linux box, they come down as 644 or 755.  I
checked my umask and they are the same on both boxes.  So I am a bit
stumped and it is clearly not a numpy problem, but I wanted to mention
it here in case any unix guru has an idea (both of these are from
clean svn checkouts)

Solaris box (funky permissions):
johnh at flag:~> svn --version
svn, version 1.4.3 (r23084)
   compiled Jun  6 2007, 16:45:15
johnh at flag:~> uname -a
SunOS flag 5.10 Generic_118855-15 i86pc i386 i86pc
johnh at flag:~> umask
0002
johnh at flag:~> cd /export/home/johnh/tmp/numpy/
johnh at flag:numpy> ls -l setup.py
-rwx------   1 johnh    research    3370 Jul 14 14:20 setup.py
