*I* can't. It's hard-coded in a compiled executable. I could make that
recommendation to the Subgit folks. I suspect they may do that because
they know for sure where the directory they are executing from is, but
they may not feel they have a guarantee that /var/run is available in
every *nix distribution.

On the other hand, the Subversion repositories themselves are in
/var/www/svn and interacting with them works fine (including writes),
modulo this issue.
