FC2 is, of course, deprecated at this point. But The DAG repository, at
http://dag.wieers.com/packages/subversion/, has a much more up-to-date
version. There are also various published Yum configuration files that point
to DAG,
Otherwise, you may wish to get David Summers' RPM's, which are linked to on
the main subversion site.

Yup. You need to do "yum remove subversion" to get rid of all that debris,
which comes with Subversion's various components spread out into organized
RPM's.

Ohh. Bad. You'll get unexpected conflects depending on your PATH.

Get the RPM's from DAG.
