That's not always a palatable option -- subversion tends to fall into the
category of 'system package' and it can be cumbersome to swim against the
tide of a package update, as you may break some system dependencies for the
sake of avoiding others.

svn 1.5.1 went 'stable' on some distros recently, so this isn't a problem
that's going to go away.

And just going back to 1.4.4 for your mac doesn't necessarily dodge the
problem, as you may be running setuptools on a mounted drive that has 1.5.1
.svn crumbs in it (or vice versa).  It's generally a good idea to keep svn
versions in sync across your various development environments anyway (or
always do svn actions on one env, even if you mount the directory on
several).

This is all probably moot soon, as I don't expect the setuptools guys to
allow the problem to persist at large.

But yeah, in a pinch and disregarding the other stuff, he could roll back to
1.4.4.
