FWIW, IIRC, NetBeans is using different backends to work with SVN
repositories, and one of the backends is has a license[1] that is
possibly/probably incompatible with an Apache project, so that one was
excluded:
https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/commit/e32f86aeecc1b0bb890ff95ed7e1c31c6da25cb6

Other (2) backends remain. The backends are AFAIK pluggable, so it should
be possible to install the excluded backend as a separate module.

[1] the licenses are in libs.svnClientAdapter.svnkit/external
