svn: warning: W170000 on OSX 10.11 El Capitan with two svn versions

After an update to Mac OSX 10.11 El Capitan the command 

/usr/bin/svn info  ssh://[email protected]///var/svn/repos/project/XYZ --force-interactive

returns:

svn: warning: W170000: Unrecognized URL scheme for 'ssh://[email protected]/var/svn/repos/project/XYZ'

The installed version is:

/usr/bin/svn --version
svn, version 1.7.20 (r1667490)
   compiled Oct  5 2015, 14:53:48

The following repository access (RA) modules are available:

* ra_neon : Module for accessing a repository via WebDAV protocol using Neon.
  - handles 'http' scheme
  - handles 'https' scheme
* ra_svn : Module for accessing a repository using the svn network protocol.
  - handles 'svn' scheme
* ra_local : Module for accessing a repository on local disk.
  - handles 'file' scheme
* ra_serf : Module for accessing a repository via WebDAV protocol using serf.
  - handles 'http' scheme
  - handles 'https' scheme

After some reading I found out the ra_svn needs the SASL Support. So I installed a second SVN with Homebrew with

brew install svn

It is installed in 

/usr/local/bin/svn

The version is:

/usr/local/bin/svn --version
svn, version 1.9.2 (r1703836)
   compiled Nov 15 2015, 11:43:08 on x86_64-apple-darwin15.0.0

The following repository access (RA) modules are available:

* ra_svn : Module for accessing a repository using the svn network protocol.
  - with Cyrus SASL authentication
  - handles 'svn' scheme
* ra_local : Module for accessing a repository on local disk.
  - handles 'file' scheme
* ra_serf : Module for accessing a repository via WebDAV protocol using serf.
  - using serf 1.3.8
  - handles 'http' scheme
  - handles 'https' scheme

The following authentication credential caches are available:

* Plaintext cache in /Users/USERNAME/.subversion
* Mac OS X Keychain

But the call

/usr/local/bin/svn info  ssh://[email protected]///var/svn/repos/project/XYZ --force-interactive

still returns:

svn: warning: W170000: Unrecognized URL scheme for 'ssh://[email protected]/var/svn/repos/project/XYZ'

Whats wrong?

Are the repository access (RA) modules stored in a library path (like plugins) and the wrong ones are use when I call /usr/local/bin/svn instead of /usr/bin/svn ?

Need some ideas, what to try. Thanks.

URL scheme should be svn+ssh for access Subversion repository over ssh. I.e.

/usr/local/bin/svn info  svn+ssh://[email protected]///var/svn/repos/project/XYZ --force-interactive
