Unexpected behaviour: "pacman -S svn" installs package "subversion"

I just had some behaviour that wasn't expected.  I was building a package and it required svn so without thinking I installed "svn" and pacman automatically made that into "subversion" for me.  I didn't think pacman would substitute what you typed with what you wanted?

The subversion package provides "svn".
