alias svnmerge='/path/to/svnmerge.py'

The svnmerge.py file also needs to be executable (chmod a+x svnmerge.py).  The changes will take effect the next time you open a new shell.

While I’m at it, it’s worth mentioning another useful option that I have in my .profile file.  By adding export CLICOLOR=1, the ls command will output in color to distinguish between directories, files, and executables.
