Fact: svn server version

Fact: It is not possible for a client to get the server version number in Subversion.

It took me awhile to find the answer to this because googling for
"subversion version server" is not terribly helpful, considering subversion
is version control software.

    Hi, This is not exactly true.
    You can get the server version number if you contact the Subversion server via HTTP(S) in the "Server" response Header in the form of

    SVN/1.4.2

    or similar.
    You can check this e.g. by installing the LiveHTTPHeaders addon (http://livehttpheaders.mozdev.org)
