I had this same issue on OSX. I have been able to upgrade the SVN by following the step by step guide here:

First check which svn version you have:

$ svn --version
  svn, version 1.7.17 (r1591372)
  compiled Aug  7 2014, 17:03:25
  ...

Seems like its old version, so update it.

$ brew update
$ brew install subversion

This will take some seconds to install. Now check how many svn you have. You will see the another entry belew.

$ which -a svn
 /usr/bin/svn
 /usr/local/bin/svn

Edit the ~/.bash_profile with

export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"

And then

$ source ~/.bash_profile

$ svn --version
svn, version 1.8.10 (r1615264)
compiled Aug 25 2014, 10:57:58 on x86_64-apple-darwin13.3.0
...

Now you will see the SVN verison is upgraded from 1.7 to 1.8.
