No reasonable reply on the RPi forum, but I believe thios should be an
issue on a subversion centered forum/maillist.

Question:
What happens if one tries to install svn on a server type Linux
distro? Ubuntu, Pi-OS, Debian etc?
Will the svn tool then be unable to work against any server requiring
user login? In such a situation there is no GUI to pop the login
into...

It is REALLY terribly irritating to have to launch a VNC session onto
the server and log into the GUI just for the purpose of entering a
subversion login on a command running in an SSH terminal obn that
server!!!!!
