In the meantime I have found information in the handbook https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/svn.html which says that the difference between svn and svnlite is just the missing Python and Perl API and may be the exact version. On the FreeBSD forum I have read that the intention of svnlite is to pull the sources.
