OK, will do.

No it has to be in the TSVN install dir. I don't know why it is so much bigger.

Yes, this is a pre-1.6 build using the same version of subversion as
the TSVN client. At the moment it is fairly close to subversion HEAD.
So it has upcoming svn 1.6 features as well.

svnadmin.exe is for repository admin
svnserve.exe is the subversion svn:// protocol server

And there is more evidence for us _not_ providing svn as part of our
installer - people ask us for help on those packages too. They are
subversion packages, so you need to read the subversion docs. And if
you don't know what svnadmin is you probably should not be using a
nightly build anyway, as we assume you have some basic knowledge of
subversion or at least a willingness to go and find out.
