There has been a lot of work on it lately, but the only rough edges I know
of tend to be from when people abused CVS.

Branches and tags are lightweight copies. Alex Karasulu has been using
branches for scratch areas, and enjoying it quite a bit.

I downloaded the source tarball, and did:
tar zxvf subversion-1.0.1.tar.gz
cd subversion-1.0.1
./configure --with-ssl --enable-all-static
make
The --with-ssl is important, since otherwise you will not have SSL support.
I added the --enable-all-static because I wanted one statically linked
client, even it it is 5MB. No fuss, no muss, no dependencies. If you want
to do the same thing, add --without-berkeley-db to ensure that it won't
build the server.
