Homebrew will now use the svn binary pointed to by HOMEBREW_SVN if set, use a Homebrew-installed svn if present, finally falling back to the system-provided svn binary. If a formula (mplayer) requires a newer version of Subversion than what Leopard provides, it can use the "StrictSubversionDownloadStrategy" download strategy to warn the user. These changes also fix an issue with forcing exports not working on a stock Leopard subversion, but letting the user either specify a specific binary or install Subversion via Homebrew and pick that up instead.

Features and usage are summarized on the homepage.
Quick Install to /usr/local
This script will prompt for confirmation before it does anything:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsS http://gist.github.com/raw/323731/install_homebrew.rb)"
Afterwards, install Xcode.
Umm… I thought I could install it anywhere?
Indeed, you can. Refer to our complete installation instructions.
Dude! Just give me a one-liner!
Okay then, but please note this installs Homebrew as root and we recommend against that.
curl -LsSf http://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/tarball/master | sudo tar xvz -C/usr/local --strip 1
