The manual is probably outdated on that point. The previous 'nixos-checkout' script was installing subversion in the root environment before using it to update /etc/nixos/nixos and /etc/nixos/nixpkgs local copy. The current 'nixos-checkout' script does install subversion, but not at run time. This script now depends on subversion, which implies that it has been installed before (at build time). I assume that the chekcout did works after all, even if subversion did not appear in your root profile. Am I right? I will fix the manual.
