How do I force SVN to use /var/tmp NOT /tmp?

How can I tell SVN to use "/var/tmp" instead of "/tmp" for temporary files?

I'm trying to import a vendor-drop on a 1.5GB game engine SDK, using svn_load_dirs.pl. "/tmp" is a tmpfs and not big enough for what this project merge requires.

Thankyou!

Me: why does "/tmp" only have 2.4 GB free if "/" has 107GB free? and how do i fixed it.
Me: It just FUBAR a 1.5 GB SVN vendor-drop merge and import on the *last* line ...
#OPENSOLARIS: tmpfs is a memory based file system
#OPENSOLARIS: memory+swap. but you can make it not tmpfs if you want, just remove the mount in /etc/vfstab
#OPENSOLARIS: but... you really shouldn't need 2GB of /tmp space, it's meant for small, temporary files use /var/tmp if you need a lot of space
