I have been using subversion-1.3.2 with neon-0.26.1 [on gentoo] to
access DAV repositories and never had any problems with it yet. Your
milage may, however, vary. After all, as Peter pointed out, there
probably IS a reason they require exactly 0.25.5...
On the other hand, I couldn't find any reason in Gentoo's Bugzilla or
otherwise for 0.25.5 to be masked in Portage...
