I see: the SVN extension skips downloading the svnkit jars if they're
already present, but if they're missing, it downloads version 1.3.3
(see extensions/svn/build.xml line 75).  Since I had already run
"build.sh svn-download", the jars were present, but this
"svn-download" step actually downloaded version 1.3.7
(build/scripts/subversion.xml line 29).

Given this, I thought the solution was to change
build/scripts/subversion.xml to reference version 1.3.3, but when I do
this, "build svn-download" fails, since this version isn't available
at the location where the script looks:
http://maven.tmatesoft.com/content/repositories/releases/org/tmatesoft/svnkit/svnkit-cli/1.3.3/svnkit-cli-1.3.3.jar.
 So I think our options for fixing the build are either:

1. Find 1.3.3 and update the download URLs in
build/scripts/subversion.xml to point to that instead of 1.3.7.

- or -

2. Fix the SVN extension's apparent incompatibility with 1.3.7.

If there's anything I can do to help, let me know.

Thanks,
Joe
