I added the following line to /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources (all one line):
yum fedora-development
http://mirror.hiwaay.net/redhat/fedora/linux/core/development
and did an:
# up2date --nosig subversion
up2date took care of all the dependencies. Please note that adding the
line will make the rhn icon pulse afterwords with hundreds of updates.
I'm ignoring it for now. I'd imagine I could just remove the line from
sources....
