Your question isn't really on-topic for users_at_subversion.tigris.org (or
user_at_ant.apache.org) - you would probably get a better response from
users_at_subclipse.tigris.org (SvnAnt being part of the Subclipse project,
not SVN itself and certainly not Ant).
I understand that SvnAnt has been without an active maintainer for some
time, but that that has now changed:
http://svn.haxx.se/subdev/archive-2008-08/0022.shtml - version
1.2.0-RC1, targetting SVN 1.5, was released very recently. I noticed a
few wrinkles in it ("svn copy --parents" isn't fully implemented, for
example), but otherwise it's an improvement on 1.1.0.RC2.
You might also want to take a look at SvnKit - it's a pure Java
implementation of SVN and it looks (I've not tried it) trivial to use
from Ant using the "java" task. To my mind SvnKit seems easier to use
for someone who's familiar with SVN, and arguably more powerful. That
said, I've always found SvnAnt does whatever I need it to, with very
little hacking required.
