wiping a cygwin installation where subversion 1.4.6-1 worked and
reinstalling cygwin.
Perhaps there's a missing dependency with the new package?

Yep, svn has dependencies on expat-0 and expat-1, you only have the later.
Searching the packages, cygexpat-0.dll is either from
libexpat0/libexpat0-1.95.8-2 or expat/expat-1.95.8-1, and cygexpat-1.dll
is from libexpat1/libexpat1-2.0.1-1.
Looks like a build glitch more than a missing dependency.
The expat-0 dependency comes indirectly through libaprutil1. Subversion
does not depend on it directly, so I did not include it in the requires
line for subversion. Unfortunately, libaprutil1 depends on expat and not
libexpat0. expat depends on libexpat1, which is not correct for libaprutil1.
I guess this is a consequence of the expat split done recently. Packages
that used to depend on expat to get cygexpat-0.dll are now broken.
libaprutil1 is just one of many such packages.
I'm not sure how this should be fixed. I think the options are:
o Add libexpat0 to the subversion requires.
o Change expat to libexpat0 in the libaprutil1 requires.
o Add libexpat0 to the expat requires.
