Oh yeah. I changed permissions before the import but not after. Try it again.

Now that I think about it, the only thing that would bother is svn-upgrade, which isn't the end of the world. Moreover, I already contacted the svn-buildpackage maintainer privately about svn-upgrade with mergeWithUpstream, as it doesn't appear to actually make any tags (at least not in my test). If anyone understands this better than I do, please clarify here. I'm happy to set it up however most of you want it (I obviously am the newcomer here). I'd like to hear other people's opinions at this point.
