On Archlinux, which has updated to 1.8.0 I see this in svn --version output

* ra_serf : Module for accessing a repository via WebDAV protocol using
serf.
  - handles 'http' scheme
  - handles 'https' scheme

I believe that without serf, you wouldn't be able to "use" svn via
http:// or https:// scheme, only svn:// and file:// (use = clone,
commit, etc).

On earlier version (1.7.x) ra_neon provided http and https scheme.
