This is a quick way to upgrade svn (subversion) on Mac OS X.

In this particular case it was Mac OS X 10.11 (El Capitan) and svn was upgraded from v1.7 to v1.9.

• make sure you have brew installed (just type brew in the Terminal). If not, install it using following command:
  ruby -e “$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)”
• Update brew:
  brew update
• Check current subversion install:
  brew info subversion
• Install latest svn:
  brew install subversion
• Check svn version again
  brew info subversion

If you need path to svn executable, it should be /usr/local/bin/svn
