>Description:
If subversion-1.1.1 is built against a slightly older neon (e.g. 0.24.6) the build silently builds a svn executable which can't access remote repositories:
> svn up
svn: Unsupported RA plugin ABI version (2) for ra_dav.

The cause is noted during the subversion configure process but doesn't result in a build failure:
checking neon library version... 0.24.6
You have neon version 0.24.6,
but Subversion needs neon 0.24.7.

An appropriate version of neon could not be found, so libsvn_ra_dav
will not be built.  If you want to build libsvn_ra_dav, please either
install neon 0.24.7 on this system ...

>How-To-Repeat:
Build an older version of neon (0.24.6).
Build subversion 1.1.1.
Try to use svn to access a remote repo.
>Fix:
Make subversion depend not just on neon.24 as it currently does, but on neon 0.24.7 or newer specifically.
