How does upgrading client/server affect working copy?

[Christopher Brown <ch...@calligrafix.com>]

Hi,

I know how to upgrade a Subversion repository (dump->upgrade->load), and
know that client and server should match.  I'm about to upgrade from 0.33.1
to 1.0.0.  We have a lot of work-in-progress that we can't really check in
just now.  If I do this upgrade now (server/repository and all clients),
will working copies still be usable?

Thanks,
Chris

Thanks.

To confirm, the file .svn/format from a working copy checked out of
Subversion 0.33.1 contains "4", and the same file from a different
repository checked out of Subversion 1.0.0 also contains "4"...  So the
short answer is "yes, they should Just Work" (the changes are more to do
with repository internals and possibly the data exchanged between
client+server, not the working copy).  I saw nothing in CHANGES about
incompatible changes to the working copy (although 0.34 did change the
repository format -- but this isn't a problem for us).

Thanks again,
Chris

This is a pre-1.0.0 policy, once you've updated to 1.0.0 other compatibility
rules apply.

Yes, they should still work. Read the CHANGES file in the distribution if
you do important upgrades however. There support has been dropped for certain
(very old) working copy formats, but that's all announced there. If you want
to know what the format of your current working copies is:

'cat .svn/format'

HTH,

Erik.
