Running SVN from my command line for a project I originally checked out with Eclipse gave me the message
“svn: This client is too old to work with working copy ‘.’; please get a newer Subversion client”
My subversion version was 1.4.4: > svn --version svn, version 1.4.4 (r25188) compiled Jun 23 2007, 08:53:30
So I downloaded the “Universal Subversion 1.6.3 Binaries for MAC OS X (32 and 64 bit)” package from CollabNet.
By default this package installs subversion to /opt/subversion. So still my old subversion installation was 1.4.4
> which svn /usr/local/bin/svn
I edited then ~/.profile and set /opt/subversion/bin in front of my PATH:
export PATH=/opt/subversion/bin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH
And finally subversion now is used in the right version:
>svn --version svn, version 1.6.3 (r38063) compiled Jun 23 2009, 16:38:16
