I bootstrapped Subversion but it took me a while to successfully compile
apache, apr, etc.
I had checked out version 1336 of Subversion. I'll update and
recompile.

Sorry, I didn't explain clearly. I want to use Subversion to track the
changes I make to Source Forge as I customize it for our in house
project. Nothing nearly as ellaborate as you describe.
