i've got a port of subversion committed in the subversion tree, and the latest working version of it is always available at http://electricjellyfish.net/subversion.tar.gz. it's a little out of date now, but i will be updating it to the next release as soon as it is released (this week sometime) and submitting it back to freebsd for inclusion in the ports tree. previous versions were not submitted back because it was felt that they weren't ready for a large audience. > does all that and more, and has much better diff support than > Perforce.
