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.
