The book (Practical Subversion) has a chapter on programming with
Subversion.

Otherwise, I think the documentation you are looking for exists in the
header files and in some cases in text files stored in the repository. For
example:
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/doc/programmer/
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/notes/
