I added apr and apr-util to the repo.

Subversion depends on apr and apr-util and apache provides them.

Instead of downloading apr, apr-util, and subversion when you pacman -S subversion, it downloads apache and subversion.
This task depends upon

I pinpointed the code for this too. Line 758 of pacman.c. The problem is that apr and apr-util are in extra and apache is in current. It searches all of current, doesn't find any apr or apr-util, so it grabs apache instead. If you kept a list of results from all the repos, you could then put preference on the one that had the proper package name over ones that just provided.

Or you could just move apr and apr-util to current and have someone else maintain them. I still prefer option 1.
