I have run this command on the command line: defaults write
com.barebones.bbedit Subversion:SubversionToolPathOverride
/usr/local/bin/svn and rebooted BBEdit.

You don't really have to do that, but I suppose it works. I just have the location of my svn executables defined as part of my shell's PATH in my .tcshrc file. But, whatever works.

I'm a little confused about this statement from the manual "and you
must enable the Subversion option in the Tools preference panel." Tools
preference panel? I am using 8.6.1 and don't see that.

That's because it's not there. Just go to the Source Control pane of the Preferences dialog and click 'Add Subversion...' -- which you've already found:

I am also having an issue with the Source Control preference panel.
Specifically where it says Name and Root. Is "Name" where I put
svn+ssh://someuri.com?

No, 'Name' is the name you want to give that working copy location in the SVN menu. So, I have an entry called 'MyProject', which contains the username, password, and location of a working copy of my code on a disk somewhere.

I'm assuming the Root is the location of svn on my system. Is this
correct?

No, Root is the location of the working copy of your code on your disk.

So, here's one of my entries as an example:

    Name: MyProject
    User: myusername
    Password: <none of your business>
    Root: /Volumes/Projects/Work/MyProject

When I select 'Update Working Copy...' from the SVN menu, the dialog comes up and I select 'MyProject' from the pop-up menu button. When I click the Update button, it then updates the checkout in that location.

First, though, you have to have checked out a working copy to your disk. You do that by going into Terminal, cd to your working directory, and do a

    % mkdir MyProject
    % svn checkout <path to repository>/Myproject

BBEdit doesn't check the project out for you in the first place; it can only update it, commit it, revert, etc. It relies on the information SVN records in the directory to figure out where the data came from.
