Yes, that's true, and I would certainly recommend that people use their
distro's "official" build if possible. Unfortunately, Red Hat has a very
conservative RPM upgrade policy (they backport security fixes but don't
upgrade to new versions within a particular Red Hat release).

But, the RPM repository the original poster referred to was the one
linked on the Subversion site's "download" page. People often wrongly
assume that because they're linked from the Subversion site, that those
other builds are "official" in that they are released by the Subversion
team, which is not the case.
