Debian-experimental has packages for subversion 1.6. (At the time of writing, the version is 1.6.1dsfg1.)
In terms of tangible benefits, the main reason to upgrade is interoperability with other subversion clients:
- the format for a working directory has changed in 1.6;
- and a 1.6 client will automatically update it to the new format;
- clients older than 1.6 no longer work once this happens.
At the moment other tools I use, such as the subclipse plugin for Eclipse, have upgraded making the jaunty's package the old one and unable to work once any of the other tools have touched the working directory.
