I am sending your reply back to the Subversion mailing list where you
first asked your question. Remember to Reply All so that your reply
goes to the list too, not just to me.

You do not need to create a repository with "svnadmin create", you do
not need to add a system user. You just need to check out a working
copy, as per my original recommendations, and the online
documentation I referred you to.

You do not need to serve any repository, with apache or otherwise.
You just need to check out a working copy from the repository where
the Wordpress source code is being hosted.

If you checked out tag 2.7 as you said you did, then subsequently
switching to tag 2.7 should be irrelevant and not have any effect.

You don't need to do anything with any local Subversion repository.

The online instructions I referred you to explain how to update to
the new version of the code, depending on whether you're following
trunk or following specific tags. You should direct further questions
that are specific to how to update a Wordpress installation with
Subversion to the developers of Wordpress. I personally have not set
up Wordpress so I'm not well-equipped to help you with these questions.
