I've been down that road before.  Macports is mostly reliable, but not entirely 
reliable.  And every time you apply some update to XCode, apple replaces with 
default binaries again, which you won't know by default, until you step into 
some pitfall and waste time figuring it out.  And I've run into a lot of 
conflicts between macports and homebrew...

If you need 1.8, I'll agree, thanks to macports, there *is* a solution 
available.  But I'm choosing not to go that route...  Thanks...

Sure, no problem. Then you'll need to specify svn:ignore on each
directory where it applies or set it in your subversion configuration
(which only applies to you) ...

FYI: I don't use homebrew but
https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/blob/master/Library/Formula/subversion.rb
suggests they have subversion at 1.8.5.

I’m a manager of the MacPorts project. If you’re experiencing any problems with 
MacPorts, please contact us on the macports-users mailing list or file a ticket 
in our issue tracker.

Yes, you should not replace Apple software; that route only leads to sadness.

That’s to be expected. Use one package manager only, not a mix of two or more; 
more sadness there.

MacPorts Subversion works fine; I use it daily.
