/etc/services lists 3690/tcp and 3690/udp as "svnserve"; however, this
is incorrect; the name of the service is "svn". This being
non-standard on Debian breaks quite a few subversion-related programs.

Bug #226842 reported the Subversion service not being there at all,
which was true, but quoted from a typo'd version of the Subversion
book (svnserve was never the name for this service). This has since
been corrected in the book
<http:/svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.0/svn-book.html#svn-ch6-sect-3>.

This thread mentions some of the confusion that arose because of that
typo: <http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2004-03/0294.shtml>.

The name of the IANA service is "svn", not "svnserve"; you can even
check the IANA list: <http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers>.

The fix is simple:

-svnserve        3690/tcp        svn subversion  # Subversion protocol
-svnserve        3690/udp        svn subversion
+svn             3690/tcp        svn subversion  # Subversion protocol
+svn             3690/udp        svn subversion

Just a quick fix, and off to glory! Thanks! =)
