mod_dav_svn.x86_64 1.4.2-4.el5_3.1 base
Why 1.4.2? Where is 1.6+?
WANdisco builds and tests the latest subversion binaries for a variety of platforms.

There is no 1.6.x rpm for RHEL/CentOS, because nobody has built it. I was unable to find it using rpm.pbone.net. In CentOS 5.6 svn should be in 1.6.x (RHEL is in beta now).
mod_dav_svn 1.4
is from yourBase
repository, not forrpmforge
