If you’re using CentOS 6 you are stuck with SVN 1.6. This is mostly annoying because SVN 1.6 creates a bunch of .svn folders. (One for every subdirectory in all your repositories.)
To upgrade we can use the WANdisco SVN repository and get Subversion 1.8
Let’s do it!
wget https://snippets.khromov.se/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/svninstall.sh_.txt
mv svninstall.sh_.txt svninstall.sh
chmod a+X svninstall.sh
sh svninstall.sh
That’s it!
