I'd leave everything as it is. I've read the thread on the svn-dev list,
and it seems that
this is being raised to solve user ignorance.
As long as the major versions match, I think that's best TSVN shouldn't
need to
adjust it's version numbering to match it's upstream suppliers, just as svn
doesn't
need to adjust it's version numbering to match downstream consumers.
Just my 0.02c
