Subversion has a friendly BSD-ish license but it depends heavily
on Sleepycat DB which doesn't. I imagine that if we do end up
using it one day, it would be best managed as a port rather than
part of the base system. I just don't see many people agreeing
on importing subversion+db-4.2+apache2 into src/contrib...
Another way of approaching that is to say subversion is not-likely
to be imported *unless* we can find an acceptable BSD-licensed
database mgr to go along with it. (I do not know how much of
Apache is needed. Would svn *clients* need to have apache
installed, or is that only needed for machines that hold a
public repository?)
