Cannot get the revision information from the scm repository :
Hi,
I am trying to build my project on Eclipse, netbeans as well as on command
line
I am executing mvn install
I am getting following error message :
Provider message:
The svn command failed.
Command output:
svn: This client is too old to work with working copy '.'. You need
to get a newer Subversion client, or to downgrade this working copy.
See http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#working-copy-format-change
for details.

To debug this I browsed to following link :
http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#working-copy-format-change
Over here there is a python script
change-svn-wc-format.py<http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/tools/client-side/change-svn-wc-format.py>
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/tools/client-side/change-svn-wc-format.py
I have downloaded this script and trying to run this script.
I have installed python 3.1 to run this script.
When I execute this I am getting following error :
C:\Python31>
C:\Python31>python change-svn-wc-format.py --help
File "change-svn-wc-format.py", line 99
except UnrecognizedWCFormatException, e:
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
C:\Python31>
IS the python script here is correct ??? Can anyone verify that.
I am not python programmer neither an expert on subversion.,
I just want my project to be build..
Need help here.
I have copied dev@subversion.apache.org as any developer only would have
written this python script.
Thanks and Regards,
Vishal

Who created the working copy your maven build works on? If it was you,
an option could be to re-checkout with an older, maven compatible
client. Else you have to get maven up to date to work with the newer
working copy. Downgrading the working copy the hard way doesn't sound
like the best solution to me, because depending on who created it how
it could easily get updated again.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
Thorsten Schöning

Please do not cross-post between users@ and dev@. This is really a
usage question (not about the development of subversion), so belongs
on users@.

Can you just try it with Python 2.x (2.7 for instance)? I don't know
details about the script, but just know that Python has changed quite
a bit between 2.x and 3.x (and this script certainly pre-dates python
3.x).
Further: as you have probably read in the svn faq entry: to avoid this
issue be careful that all the svn clients you use are from the same
major.minor version (e.g. all 1.6.x clients, or all 1.5.x).
