There isnt really, SVN is where the source is kept, so when people refer to an SVN build rather than a released build they mean a current development snapshot. you can download nightlies from the site, or you can compile your own fairly easily.

capnhud: remember that a SVN build may be unstable - you are using a version of inkscape that is being coded at that time, so it may be buggy - but you get the added benefits of the features that are not in the latest stable release... (0.45.1)
