New submission from fstopzero <beckastar at gmail.com>:

Hi,
 
There seems to be some confusion out on how to download for a Mac- some docs say it's included 
in OS X and higher:
http://subversion.apache.org/packages.html#osx
... but according to other discussions, that doesn't seem to be the case:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12530085/how-to-setup-svn-on-mac-os-x-10-8-2

The above link rec's that you download xcode and then enter the command line from there, but .... 
 
apparently there is a download at wandisco:
http://www.wandisco.com/subversion/download#osx

... which comes with a very small amount of support - I've downloaded it, and am working now to 
figure out what to do next. 

This is all the opposite of intuitive - not friendly for the n00b.  Clearer documentation is essential.
