Comment (by hinder):

 You cannot compile the ET on a freshly installed OS X system without a lot
 of extra packages, usually provided by MacPorts or Homebrew.  The
 subversion (/usr/bin/svn) that you are trying to use is installed by xcode
 (which is needed for compiling on OS X), and for some reason seems to be
 broken regarding SSL.  We could blacklist this version and insist that
 users install a good subversion.  The version in MacPorts has always
 worked for me.  I have just tested the MacPorts and Homebrew versions on
 github, and they both work, whereas the xcode version does not.  Since we
 only support using OS X with MacPorts or Homebrew (and people compiling
 everything from scratch are well-capable of building their own SVN), I
 suggest we just tell people to install svn from whichever package manager
 (macports or homebrew) they are using.  This would be done when
 GetComponents detects that the svn version is the apple version.

 I would rather not add complicated fallback logic into GetComponents to
 try to work with buggy software, when it is a small extra step for users
 to add one more package to the list of recommended packages that they need
 to install from their package manager.
