pysvn.tigris.org is an entirely different project. If you read
Subvesion's core docs[1], you'll find that they say "Subversion's
language bindings unfortunately tend to lack the level of attention
given to the core Subversion modules. However, there have been
significant efforts towards creating functional bindings for Python,
Perl, and Java.".

I think the one bundled with Subversion is not very useful.
pysvn.tigris.org is the one I'd like to work with (once I get it to
build).
