Thank you @Nishith Sheth for your answer, however, although this does indeed stop Xcode crashing, it means you will need to use svn from outside of Xcode. For me, this wasn't a permanent solution.

I estimate the problem revolves around your working copy being upgraded to svn 1.7, yet your svn client is 1.6.x. To check your version of svn open the terminal and type:

svn --version

If you see that the version is 1.6.x or less you will need to upgrade your version of svn. This can be acheived simply by going to Xcode > Preferences... > Downloads.

Install the Command Line Tools, which will also install the svn 1.7 client. Once it has installed, check the version of svn, it should now say 1.7.

Close Xcode and fire it up again and it should no longer crash and you should be able to use svn from Xcode once again.
