Attempts to build subversion fail because the version currently in Guix
(1.7.8) is no longer on the apache mirror network. It turns out that
the apache mirrors keep only a couple of recent versions. This patch
changes the download location to archive.apache.org, which keeps old
versions around.
What do you think?

Subject: [PATCH] gnu: subversion: Download from apache archive site.
* gnu/packages/subversion.scm (subversion): Download from archive.apache.org,
where versions are kept for a longer period of time. Previously, we
downloaded from the mirrors, which keep only the most recent versions.
