Uninstall the previous version
Make sure you don’t have an old version of the package installed:
|```
1
2
|```
$ brew uninstall svn
$ sudo mv /usr/bin/svn /usr/bin/svn1.6
|
|——–|—————————————————————-|
In the case of svn, I also needed to remove the version that comes by default with OS X, as Homebrew is not able to unlink the two.
Find out how old versions are called
|```
1
2
3
|```
$ brew search subversion
subversion
homebrew/versions/subversion16 homebrew/versions/subversion17
|
|———|——————————————————————————————————|
The above tells you what svn packages are available. Note that searching for svn instead of subversionreturns the current version only for some reason. So that tells me that svn 1.7.something is calledsubversion17 in Homebrew world, and it can be found into versions

Before you install a version you need to enable the whole “getting old versions” thing - you do that with thetap command. Afterwards, it’s just a matter of installing the package I found earlier.
That’s it
Job done.
