Short question: any point in keeping the 1.4.x of the Subversion CLIENT around?
Long question:
On Mac OS X 10.5, Subversion 1.4.4 comes pre-installed in /usr/bin. I've now installed Subversion 1.5.5 from Martin Ott's site, which places the binaries in /usr/local/bin. Even though /usr/local/bin is part of the path ('export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH' in ~/.profile), /usr/bin seems to take precedence and 'svn --version' reports 1.4.4 and only '/usr/local/bin/svn --version' reports 1.5.5.
I mainly interact with Subversion via Versions.app, only for merging do I need to drop back to the command line. Some of my repositories are on 1.4.x and some on 1.5.x. My tendency would be to drop 1.4 ( or at least put it somewhere out of sight) since I can interact with 1.4 repositories using the 1.5 Subversion client. Versions anyway can connect to both, probably using its 1.5 client for both. Only if I needed to create a local 1.4 repository, would I need the Subversion 1.4 on my computer (is this right?).
Can I somehow make /usr/local/bin/svn the default over /usr/bin/svn when typing 'svn'? Or is this only possible via aliases for all svn commands (incl. svnadmin etc.)? Or could I just swap the location of all the svn binaries between /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin? Is there anything else I should move?
Thanks a lot in advance.
