INSTALL instructions
Hi,
I've noticed that the download pages don't contain an overview of the
requirements to build/run subversion. They do link to INSTALL which has
the info (in great detail), but to the _trunk_ version. This is already
different from INSTALL in the release tarball, and is only likely to
diverge. Perhaps you should link to a tagged version instead?

Sorry, I should have mentioned. It's actually suggesting a different
requirement for httpd (2.0.49 rather than 2.0.48), so I would say it's
semantic as well as cosmetic.
Perhaps you should make a 'current release' tag which could be copied
from the 1.0.1 tag and updated at release. Then, references such as
this wouldn't need updating manually.
Yours,

Quite, this was still in my shell scrollback:

Thanks.
Did you notice if it differs in important ways? If it does, we have a
problem. If the differences are mostly cosmetic, or just the addition
of information that's also true for old release, then we probably
don't need to change this.
(Yes, I could take a look myself, but thought I'd try to parallelize
first. No obligation to help further on your part, of course! :-) ).
