Where to get svn_load_dirs.pl and configure it

You can get svn_load_dirs.ph.in here: svn_load_dirs directory

Edit the file and (around line 26) change the following line:

< my $svn = '@SVN_BINDIR@/svn';

by replacing @SVN_BINDIR@/svn by the directory in which svn resides. For Ubuntu the line would like like:

< my $svn = '/usr/bin/svn';
