1.5 is slated to be released soon. With 1.5, no patches at all are
necessary. 

bzr-svn should be quite easy installable for most people. It works out
of the box for Linux users who are using reasonably recent versions of
Debian, Ubuntu, SuSe, Arch Linux or Gentoo.

For Windows, things should work pretty much out of the box (except for
this password authentication issue) with Kevin's installer.

There is no easy way to install bzr-svn on Mac OS X at the moment;
you'll have to apply the patches and compile svn yourself.

Cheers,

Jelmer
