Update Subversion on Mac OS X

If you get the following error

svn: This client is too old to work with working copy '.';
please get a newer Subversion client

... or you just want to update your subversion client (command line), try the following:

1. In Terminal, type "svn --version" to find out what version you currently have
2. Go to http://www.open.collab.net/downloads/community and download the latest client for OS X and install it. This will install the new svn into /opt/subversion/bin
3. Got to your terminal and check your $PATH by typing "echo $PATH". If you don't see /opt/subversion/bin in there, make sure you add it by typing export PATH=/opt/subversion/bin:$PATH. If it DOES exist and appears AFTER /usr/bin, then you may need to remove an older copy of svn that came installed on OS X. To do so, go to /usr/bin and remove all files starting with svn. This isn't an exact science but it should do the trick.
4. Make sure you reload your .profile first by typing
   . ./.profile*
5. Type "svn --version". You should see that you have the newest version installed!

NOTE: If /opt/subversion/bin already exists, it will be backed up to /opt/subversion_backup.MMDDYYHHMMSSS. See the readme for more information.
