Coda Doesn't Recognize SVN Folder

I’ve been using Textmate for 4 years now and its wonderful but it can be a pain to keep track of projects and switching between terminal and well, it gets old. Enter Panic’s Coda, one window web development. I’m slowly switching to it but when I would add a site it wouldn’t pick up that the local directory I selected was a working copy. To fix it I first needed to find know a couple of things. What was my SVN version and where was it because Coda was trying to pull subversion from an old directory that is installed by default on Mac. I have since used macports to install a more recent version, which is what it causing Coda to not think its not a subversion folder.

So lets see what version I have. In terminal:

~ $ svn --version
svn, version 1.6.12 (r955767)
   compiled Sep 27 2010, 17:46:43

And where can I find this version:

~ $ which svn
/opt/local/bin/svn

Ok, so now I know the path, so now lets just tell Coda where to find the correct SVN version. Just go to Coda >> Preferences >> Files and there you will find a “Subversion Tool Path” setting and simply point it to your SVN directory that we found earlier.
