Click on "Show other versions" and then on "Show unstable packages" for the particular Suse version of interest. Then you'll see them. The 1.7.5 package is in a separate package repository called devel:tools:scm:svn which serves as the development repository for all of Suse's Subversion packaging efforts. The repository is created automatically by the build service and can be added to yum like any other third-party repository to make packages within it available for installation. The packages sitting in the development repository move to the official distribution repository whenever a new Suse release is made. So packages from the build service blend into the distribution just like packages from the official distribution repository do, and don't require registration with a third party.
