This entry is on hold until I figure out a better way to do this. I don’t reccomend the method below.
——————————

Here are the basic steps I went through to do this:

I went to my Synaptic package manager, searched for Subversion, right clicked it and selected mark for update. … but it says I already have the latest release …. but I know there’s something more recent!

I did some research and found that the latest release of Subversion is available from Ubuntu’s Breezy distribution.

To get this, edit your etc/apt/sources.list file:

Here’s what your sources.list probably looks like now
(approximately):

deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hoary-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hoary universe multiverse main restricted
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hoary main universe multiverse restricted

Make a copy of that block of text, and in that copy replace
every instance of the word ‘hoary’ with ‘breezy’.

Now when you go back to the Synaptic package mananger and mark for install it should get you updated to the latest version. Everything went flawlessly from this point.

Note: make sure after you get Subversion you take those lines back out of your sources.list file. I did a distribution-wide Ubuntu upgrade and it upgraded from Breezy somehow and broke everything. (At least that’s my current understanding of all my Xorg problems.)
