[Python-Dev] Upgrade SVN server to 1.5.4

[anatoly techtonik]

I use new sparse checkouts feature added in SVN 1.5 a lot to save some
traffic when working with Python code.  However, when server is older
than 1.5, partial checkouts filter directory tree on client side
fetching whole SVN tree again and again. Are there any objections
against upgrading server to 1.5?

Perhaps Python merging mechanics can be improved with upgrade too.
