As of September 10, svn 1.4 has been released. mac binaries available  
at  http://www.codingmonkeys.de/mbo/ and the new client should work  
with our server, which is running 1.2.3. The upgrade seems like it is  
worth doing for the working copy performance improvements and these  
two new subcommands:

svn diff/merge -c/--change
     You can now simply write -c N to view or merge a single  
revision, instead of the cumbersome -r N-1:N.
svn diff --summarize
     Prints only the list of changed files, in the output format of  
'svn status'. This lets you retrieve summaries of changes directly  
from a repository, whereas 'svn status' operates only on the local  
changes of your working copy.

and
   * numerous working copy improvements (WARNING! upgrades to new  
format!):
       - improved performance when detecting modified files (r18628 -56)
       - new property storage is faster and uses less disk space  
(r17583)
       - internal wcprops take up less space (r19433 -37)
       - large file commit speedups (r17861 -73 18867 -918 -29 -44  
-45 -48 -49)
       - reduce memory usage for large working copies (r19183 -538)
       - increased working copy stability with merge, copy and move:
             (fixes issues #845, #1516, #1553, #2135, #2144, #2148)

The way in which the Subversion client manages your working copy has  
undergone radical changes. The .svn/entries file is no longer XML,  
and the client has become smarter about the way it manages and stores  
property metadata.

As a result, there are substantial performance improvements. The new  
working copy format allows the client to more quickly search a  
working copy, detect file modifications, manage property metadata,  
and deal with large files. The overall disk footprint is smaller as  
well, with fewer inodes being used. Additionally, a number of long  
standing bugs related to merging and copying have been fixed.
