Enterprise Linux: Subversion Edge + SSH

Subversion Edge does not have plans to ever support svnserve. 
In order to enable CollabNet Subversion Edge implementation working for svn+ssh, a compatible svnserve from http://www.open.collab.net/downloads/subversion (i.e.  CollabNetSubversion-server-1.7.5-1.x86_64.rpm) is required.

# get a compatible svnserve from CollabNetSubversion-server-1.7.5-1.x86_64.rpm
