[ shrug... ] The message I quoted was from Bob Friesenhahn, who is
certainly a competent C programmer. If it took him half a day to
install SVN from scratch, I'm prepared to believe it's not trivial.
At the very least, I suggest you replicate the experiment before
asserting you know more about it than someone who's tried.
I've built it from source several times, and it's certainly not taken
half a day. It took quite a while to build, but it wasn't hard to do at all.
Goes to replicate the experiment, not to argue for or against any of the
products.
