[cross-posting to dev@subversion.tigris.org]
Subversion 1.4 does not officially support neon 0.28 (albeit it
may work, if there are no API and/or ABI incompatibility issues).
Subversion 1.5 will support it.
The INSTALL notes in trunk were updated to mention support for Neon 0.28
in trunk on Tue, 19 Feb 2008:
$ svn log -r29432 http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/INSTALL
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r29432 | pburba | 2008-02-19 18:01:57 +0100 (Tue, 19 Feb 2008) | 2 lines
* INSTALL: Note that we support Neon 0.28.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This happened after 1.5.x was branched.
The INSTALL notes on the 1.5.x branch don't mention support for neon-0.28.
But the autoconf macros were updated on the 1.5.x branch to support neon
0.28, so the 1.5 release will support Neon 0.28:
$ svn log -r29469 http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/branches/1.5.x/build/ac-macros/neon.m4
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r29469 | hwright | 2008-02-21 05:45:29 +0100 (Thu, 21 Feb 2008) | 8 lines
Merge r29379 and r29401 from trunk:
* r29379, r29401
Support Neon 0.28.
Votes:
+1: arfrever
+1: pburba (r29401)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I will try to make sure the INSTALL notes get updated to mention
neon-0.28 support before 1.5 is released.

As Stefan has said, Subversion 1.4 does not support neon 0.28.
However, we are using it in Debian unstable, with the following patch:
svn export svn://svn.debian.org/pkg-subversion/trunk/debian/patches/neon27
(The patch name reflects the fact that neon 0.28 is API-compatible with
neon 0.27.)
