Bug Description
There are SVN 1.5 packages already available for Intrepid Ibex.
These would be really useful in Hardy.

As I was commenting on #251220 (didn't find this bug as I was searching for "backport subversion"):
motivation for a backport:
subversion 1.5 automatically upgrades format of checkouts; this makes it impossible to work on upgraded checkouts from 8.04. This can happen if your checkouts are in a NFS mounted /home (or, as in my case, when dual booting) if you ran a newer subversion such as intrepid's or Debian sid's subversion which upgraded your shared checkouts.
subversion 1.5 also brings up tons of cool features which would be nice to use under hardy.
ABI/API changes:
The lib package name is still libsvn1, but shlibs were bumped suggesting that only ABI additions happened.
Build-deps of subversion 1.5.0dfsg1-4ubuntu2 are satisfied in hardy; I'm running a pbuild.
