PS: Some info about unstable/stable fink packages and subversion in 
Fink:

One of Finks goals is to provide binary packages. But the policy is to 
only provide binaries of packages in the stable tree. Subversion is not 
yet in the stable tree of Fink, since it didn't hit 1.0 yet. So, what 
you are doing right now is beta testing a beta package for a beta 
software. To get to the point: We need _you_ to provide us with 
feedback on building the package so that we can move it to the stable 
tree soon after svn hits 1.0.

After the svn package will be moved to the stable tree in Fink you 
won't need to install e.g. apache2 just to get a client. All you will 
need to do will be 'apt-get intall svn-client-ssl' and in a matter of 
seconds you will have a working svn client installed. But as it is 
right now, you still need to compile apache2 just to get the client.
