README and INSTALL out of sync
Comparing http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/README and
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/INSTALL
They differ in what they say how to check out the code of subversion
itself. README says:
svn co http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk subversion
Whereas INSTALL says:
subversion-rXXXX/subversion/clients/cmdline/svn checkout \
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk svn
Note the last argument: subversion vs. svn

I used to find this confusing as well. For many people, this svn
command will be the first one they'll try, so I think it's better
to explain it a little bit more. Proposed change below.

After compiling, you will have an 'svn' binary sitting in
- the tree. Use it to check out a real Subversion working copy:

well, they're different, but they aren't neccessarily out of sync. the
final argument is just the name you want to give your working copy,
i.e. the directory to put it in. it can be whatever you want. hell,
you can even leave it blank and it will just use the final directory in
the url you checked out.
