Wrong. There's an important difference: bug 679345 (svn completions)
is fixed in zsh 5.0.0, but not in 4.3.17.

That's stupid. Subversion was moved to 1.7 in sid, but in sid, zsh
remains with svn completion rules that are incompatible with svn 1.7.
So, unless some zsh update is done (possibly only the completion rules),
this will be an important regression for users of zsh and svn in the
next stable version.
