That 146kByte is the exe only. You have to count all the svn lib dlls too.
TSVN builds the svn exe with no dlls but links the libraries statically.
And it also links with serf (not just neon) and also statically links
with OpenSSL. That's why it is a lot bigger.

And no, I won't change the build to produce the dlls instead of linking
statically - we had big problems due to incompatible dlls installed by
other svn clients - why do you think the apr dlls in the TSVN bin
folders are called libapr*_tsvn.dll?

Not quite: it still needs the apr dlls (but as mentioned above: the
libapr*_tsvn.dll s).

Apart from having serf and OpenSSL statically linked, there's also some
small differences in what's activated and what not. AFAIK the collab.net
client has SSPI disabled for neon/serf and SASL.
