I can't think of any sane arrangement that would be problematic here.
Arch can do this _at least as well as svn_. I don't know how well that
is, because as noted below, I've never had a need to even try.

It's useful for svn because they can't have distributed branches. Arch
does have them, which makes fine-grained archive permissions rather
less important (you still *could* do things the complicated,
centralised way... but you don't *want* to).
[It's mildly entertaining just how many problems simply go away when
you can have distributed branches].
