The Subversion client is absolutely painless to install (a few clicks), 
at least on Win32 and OS X (with Martin Ott's statically linked 
binaries).  It compiles easily elsewhere (just make sure to configure 
--with-ssl, even though it doesn't show up in ./configure --help).  I 
suggest you go ahead and install it anyway, because more and more 
projects are using it these days.  I'm surprised you don't have it 
already, because Twisted moved to Subversion some time ago (about the 
same time as PyCon).  For win32, I also suggest getting TortoiseSVN, 
which is the Explorer integration (icon badging, contextual menu 
operations).
