Adoption of Subversion is accelerating in the Mac OS X community. Here on openCollabNet, Mac OS X users and developers can get Subversion binaries, community support resources, free downloads that extend Subversion for enterprise deployments, and information about Subversion services from CollabNet. The Subversion binaries for Mac OS X are a community project on openCollabNet and we are looking for contributors to further enhance the binaries. Check the Mac OS X binaries project for more information.
Subversion is the new standard for Software Configuration Management (SCM) in globally distributed organizations. Now, through openCollabNet you have easy access to up-to-date binaries of Subversion for Mac OS X, including language bindings, so you can integrate Subversion with your other development tools.
In the past it was hard to get binaries of Subversion that run natively on Mac OS X. CollabNet has solved this problem by starting a community project that creates and maintains binaries for Mac OS X. The goal is to consistency provide full-featured, easy-to-install Subversion builds. Check the Mac OS X binaries project for more information.
The current Mac OS X binaries are a fully packaged, complete distribution of Subversion. They are Universal binaries so they run on both Intel® and PowerPC-based Macs. The download includes the Ruby, Perl™, Python® and Java™ bindings suitable for Subclipse and other Java-based applications. The server side supports both Berkeley DB and FSFS. And it's all in a proper OS X package, just download and double-click.

Key Benefits
Subversion addresses the challenges faced by organizations that attempt to extend traditional version control and SCM solutions to distributed teams. Because Subversion is designed to support remote development sites from a central repository, the need for repository replication, additional servers and a team of system administrators is eliminated. Large enterprises that have deployed Subversion report significant lower cost of ownership compared to commercial systems that have comparable versioning capabilities.
