Ok.  That's what I thought.  I probably should have known this and I probably
will be asking some variation of this question in the future.  :-)

Yes.

subversion                              1.3.2          0.1.el4.rf        i386  
subversion-devel                        1.3.2          0.1.el4.rf        i386  
subversion-perl                         1.3.2          0.1.el4.rf        i386
