>Description:
The Subversion distribution includes a number of tools; one of the most
useful is cvs2svn.py, which can be used to convert a CVS repository into a
SVN repository, a nice tool to have available for those of us coming from
using CVS.  It would be nice to have a port option (WITH_SVN_TOOLS ?) to
install some of these into a reasonable location
(/usr/local/share/subversion ?).

Notably, cvs2svn.py has a dependency on Python 2.x, SWIG (for the SVN
Python bindings), and devel/apr threading support (needed for the SVN
Python bindings).
Thus my suggestion to make it an optional part of the port.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install Subversion.  No tools are compiled or installed.
>Fix:
Add option to devel/subversion/Makefile which, when enabled:
- Adds dependency on Python 2.x and SWIG.
- Follows subversion-0.23/subversion/bindings/swig/INSTALL:
  - Runs make swig-py as part of build process.
  - Runs make install-swig-py as part of install process.
- Installs the Subversion tools into an accessible location
(share/subversion?)

Note: this "fix" depends on my recent ports PR regarding devel/apr
threading support (otherwise the Subversion Python bindings fail with
"ImportError: /usr/local/lib/libsvn_swig_py-1.so.0: Undefined symbol
"apr_threadkey_private_get"").
