Problem when using SVN 1.5.x client with a SVN 1.6 server

[Martin Bischoff <ti...@gmail.com>]

(I originally experienced this error when using TortoiseSVN, but since
then I also had it with CruiseControl.NET, which uses the SVN command
line client. So I guess it is not a TortoiseSVN problem.)

I have upgraded our subversion server from version 1.5.6 to 1.6.2
(running on Windows Server 2003, using svnserve as a service) and
upgraded the repositories to the new format (svnadmin upgrade).

On the client, I still have TortoiseSVN 1.5.9 / SVN 1.5.x (because we're also
using AnkhSVN, and there's no final version yet that supports SVN 1.6
working copies).

If I invoke the repository browser on any existing working copy, I get
the following error message (in the right pane of the repository
browser):

  'svn://SERVER/repository/trunk/xyz' isn't in the same repository as
'svn://server/repository'

There seems to be a problem with upper-/lowercasing of the server name.

I also had this problem with some other operations, e.g. Show Log ->
then show differences for a file.
All other operations (update/commit) seem to work without problems.

What is the reason for the problem and how to proceed to solve it?

Thanks and best regards,
Martin

The reason for the problem is the difference in case between "server"  
and "SERVER" so to work around it, use consistent case every time you  
refer to your URLs. Probably lowercase for scheme and hostname would  
be most likely to succeed.

This issue suggests the problem may have been fixed in Subversion 1.6  
(client):
