Does anyone know how to change the location of the svn tool used in the Xcode IDE?
I've installed a newer version in /opt/subversion/bin and updated my $PATH so that it works from the command line but can't get Xcode to recognize this.

A:
As far as I know, Xcode hardcodes its Subversion paths to the /usr/lib/ prefix. You can either symlink them (as described over here) or copy them (cf. here).

Don't do this. Instead, comment upon the answer directly.

A:
Applications in Mac OS X aren't run from a shell, so they won't have any knowledge of shell variables. Just adding something to your $PATH in your .bashrc or .cshrc or whatever won't tell applications about it at all.
Furthermore, Xcode 3.0 and later support Subversion directly, rather than by calling through its command-line binary; this means that it will use the Subversion libraries in /usr/lib rather than any you've installed elsewhere.
