I have never seen a report of an apache child process writing content as root, so my first reaction is that you have some other process accessing the repository as root and screwing up your permissions. In your examples, you should the effect of having a root-owned file in the repository, but you never show apache creating such a file. Are you *absolutely positive* that it is apache creating the file?
