Hm...  I don't have svn on my Linux laptop either, and the svn tests are
just not done there.  So why are they performed on an svn-less Macos
laptop?

Aaah!

larsi <at> space test % svn
svn: error: The subversion command line tools are no longer provided by Xcode.

So

(defun vc-test--svn-enabled ()
  (executable-find vc-svn-program))

evaluates to true, even if there's no useable svn on the system.  Thank
you, Apple!

I've now amended the test to check for svnadmin, too.
