Be careful with this.

There are no officially-released svn packages for msys.
There are no officially-released svn packages for mingw.
There are unofficial svn binaries for mingw [1], AND unofficial svn
build-it-yourself scripts for msys.
(official/unofficial in relation to mingw.org project)

The fastest way you can obtain svn is to download a pre-built binaries
(go to [1], Win32Svn seems to be decent enough) and install it into
c:\MinGW

[1] http://subversion.apache.org/packages.html

P.S. It might not be obvious, but subversion is not the easiest thing
to build, and is not part of the GNU crowd (meaning that it comes with
very unusual buildsystem and its own slew of support libraries) - that
might explain why no one bothered to build msys-svn for years.
