Subversion can be accessed over ssh using the svn+ssh protocol. This problem presents itself as the following:
bash: svnserve: command not found
Solution 1
To get your custom path to the svnserve binary to be used, you need to create a wrapper script on your local machine:
#!/bin/sh
ssh $1 /path/to/svnserve -t
You can find the correct /path/to/svnserve by logging into your Hostmonster account via SSH and typing which svnserve. Name this script anything you want, such as "svnssh", make it executable, and place it in a convenient location. Now, in your .subversion/config file, place the following:
[tunnels]
ssh=/path/to/svnssh
The /path/to/svnssh should match the location that you put your svnssh wrapper script.
