When using a shell like bash each instance keeps a in-memory hash table of commands that have been found. If you ran the 1.7 svn before changing PATH it's possible the shell instance is finding svn in its hash and not searching PATH. In bash you can use "hash -r" to cause the shell instance to clear its hash, or "hash -r svn" to clear just one command. -- Certified & Supported Apache Subversion Downloads: http://www.wandisco.com/subversion/download
