Look in the new "rpmforge-extras" repositories. RPMforge has taken to moving components that overlap core components from RHEL into that "extras" repository, to avoid dependency wars and explicit thought. Also, if you have an x86_64 system, you'll need to delete and avoid re-installing the subversion.i386 or subversion-devel.ie86 packages from RHEL. RedHat elects to provide packages for both architectures in their X86_64 repositories and systems, and the yum dependencies get adventuresome because RPMforge does not. The result is chaos when you do "yum install subversion" unless you exclude "subversion.i386" you your /etc/yum.conf.
