      need to enter your local account password. Type sudo apt-get
      install svn-client. Press yes to any prompts.
   4. At this point you are ready to use the command line version. You
      can install the Subversion Finder plugin if you wish, which follows.


      Finder plugin

    Please note that this is pre-release software, and may cause
    permanent and irreperable damage to your system. Please take
    appropriate measures to safeguard data. 

   1. Do steps above to get command line version.
   2. In a Terminal, type cd /usr/local/bin, press enter. Type sudo ln
      -s /sw/bin/svn, and press enter. It will ask for a password; enter
      your OS X account password. You can now close the Terminal.

      to your home directory.


      Using the Finder plugin

Right click or ctrl-click any folder. You should see a Subversion
context menu. From here you can access most of Subversion's
functionality. The plugin should be considered alpha so you may run into
troubles with certain operations.
