Subversion 1.4 does not officially support neon 0.28 (albeit it
may work, if there are no API and/or ABI incompatibility issues).

Subversion 1.5 will support it.

The INSTALL notes in trunk were updated to mention support for Neon 0.28
in trunk on Tue, 19 Feb 2008:

  $ svn log -r29432 http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/INSTALL
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
  r29432 | pburba | 2008-02-19 18:01:57 +0100 (Tue, 19 Feb 2008) | 2 lines

  * INSTALL: Note that we support Neon 0.28.

  ------------------------------------------------------------------------

This happened after 1.5.x was branched.

The INSTALL notes on the 1.5.x branch don't mention support for neon-0.28.
But the autoconf macros were updated on the 1.5.x branch to support neon
0.28, so the 1.5 release will support Neon 0.28:

  $ svn log -r29469 http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/branches/1.5.x/build/ac-macros/neon.m4
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
  r29469 | hwright | 2008-02-21 05:45:29 +0100 (Thu, 21 Feb 2008) | 8 lines

  Merge r29379 and r29401 from trunk:

   * r29379, r29401
     Support Neon 0.28.
     Votes:
       +1: arfrever
       +1: pburba (r29401)

  ------------------------------------------------------------------------

I will try to make sure the INSTALL notes get updated to mention
neon-0.28 support before 1.5 is released.
