[R-SIG-Mac] svn location

[Carl Witthoft]

Well, I put this new svn in /usr/local, then checked around my Catalina 
system:


iMac:~ cgw$ which svn
/usr/bin/svn
iMac:local cgw$ cd /usr/bin
iMac:bin cgw$ ls -l svn
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  31488 Aug 10 16:55 svn
iMac:bin cgw$ cd /usr/local
iMac:local cgw$ ls -l svn
-rwxr-xr-x@ 1 cgw  wheel  8767792 Aug 25 18:04 svn
iMac:local cgw$ what svn
svn
	1.14.0 (r1876290)

That's a huge difference in file size!  Any idea what the /usr/bin one is?
