gotcha, guess that could be useful for people that don't already have
an svn cli client installed.

My original client is the svn provided by cygwin, for which version
1.5 hasn't been released yet. So I had to download and setup separate
binaries by hand. I'll just document here for posterity what I already
did.
Download svn 1.5 binaries for windows from
http://merge-tracking.open.collab.net/files/documents/147/350/svn.win32.bin.httpd.r27562.zip
Unzip to c:\cygwin\usr\local which will appropriately put the 1.5
binaries in the /usr/local/bin folder.
I figured that this would be enough...
$which svn
/usr/local/bin/svn
$/usr/local/bin/svn.exe --version
svn, version 1.5.0 (dev build)
compiled Nov 1 2007, 17:54:29
But for some reason it didn't work completely. Even though
/usr/local/bin has precedence over /bin in my $PATH variable, it still
seemed to be grabbing the old version installed in /bin. Very odd.
$svn --version
svn, version 1.4.5 (r25188)
compiled Sep 19 2007, 23:10:31
Had to backup current svn binaries:
$ cd /bin
$ mkdir svn-1.4
$ mv svn*.exe svn-1.4/
Link /bin/svn.exe to new 1.5 binaries:
$ ln -s /usr/local/bin/svn.exe
Check version:
$which svn
/usr/local/bin/svn
$svn --version
svn, version 1.5.0 (dev build)
compiled Nov 1 2007, 17:54:29
