Here I meant "remote repository" of course.

Incidentally, your mail server is also a colossal pain in the ass:

Finally, if you're upset about having to install Subversion to
download ffmpeg, why not suggest to the authors of ffmpeg that they
offer a more conventional and less labor-intensive download
alternative, such as snapshots or regular releases. Complaining to
the Subversion users list about the difficulty of installing
Subversion is probably not the correct approach.

The svn client has the same dependencies as the servers, which is why
no client-only download has been made available.
You can disable several of the dependencies if you do not need them.
For example, if you don't want to serve a BerkeleyDB-based repository
and merely want to access a remove repository, you can use --without-
bdb when configuring so that you don't need BerkeleyDB. If you don't
plan to access http- or https-based repositories, I believe you can
omit Neon and OpenSSL as well.

'nuff said.

look at the instructions at mplayerhq.
On how to download the svn directory.
svn co svn://domain.com/svn/to/path/of/ffmpeg
BTW it does work here.

Bravo! I want to congratulate you on a well-written, persuasive
request. You have simultaneously realized that:
1) Excessive and crude swearing is an effective way to get members of
an all volunteer mailing list to go out of their way to help you.
and
2) Giving almost no useful information about the exact problem you're
experiencing provides people with a challenge, and greatly increases
your odds of getting a useful response back.
You have created the model for everyone to follow. By all means,
please continue to provide us with such informative and well-written
questions. It's truly too bad that there aren't more posters to this
mailing list with such eloquence and maturity.

I'm sure that's one of the reasons package managers were invented.
All I had to do to install Subversion on my Mac with MacPorts
installed is type "sudo port install subversion" and Subversion and
all the dependencies got downloaded and built in the right order. I
expect other package managers (fink, portage, apt, rpm) would work in
a similar way.
And for those who don't or can't use package managers, then as you
say the binary packages are quite helpful (and often somewhat client-
only, as requested, since providing all of apache would probably be
annoying and integrating with an existing apache could be difficult).

I really hate to agree with such an inappropriate note, but I have to
admit that I felt the same way when I went through this (until I got it
done). The instructions really aren't that bad, but man are there ever a
lot of little extra pieces you have to find, download, and get working!
In some cases the libs for the libs need libs. Because of this you
eventually find yourself nested three deep in instructions for
instructions for instructions. %-P
I'm sure all the libs are useful, and it makes sense to use their
downloads and their instructions rather than try to include them and
rewrite the instructions yourself (and have to redo them every time they
change). So I don't know the solution to this issue. Most folks should
probably just download a prebuilt binary client and not have to worry
about it. Perhaps those of us who want to code against the subversion
API should be smart enough to figure out how to do this, but it sure was
a pain.
