Subversion version confusion.
Hi All,
I've just added a new solution to a repo on our svn server (Visual SVN
1.6.3) which I believe is using Svn 1.5 ...
I added the solution to SubVersion using TortoiseSVN 1.6.0, Build 15855.
I also have the AnkhSvn plugin installed. Now in VS everything is
marked with a blue + sign and basically VS thinks this is all outside of
Svn ... so I initially started to go through the commit thing again and
then I got an error that told me to go to this page:
http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#working-copy-format-change
I must admit that I find a lot of docs and pages on the Svn site to be
more confusing than helpful. This is all telling me that my CLIENT
(Tortoise/Ankh) is out of date, whereas its the clients that are the
most up to date and the Visual SVNServer is probably the oldest version
we have ...
Do I actually need to upgrade the Visual Svn Server software???
Is this actually a bug somewhere or can someone explain this to my
confused brain?
Thanks,
James.

Right - what I was trying to say is that (as I read the release
notes), there's no functionality *lost* or degraded when using a 1.5
server with 1.6 clients. That is not the case with 1.6 clients and 1.4
or older servers.

There are actually 1.6 client changes that do work even with a 1.5
server. One example is file externals. This is a client feature and I
have used it with our 1.5.5 server (waiting for 1.6.1 for the server).
TSVN has quite a few fixes/enhancments in the 1.6.0 version also that
work fine with a 1.5 server.
Also, the CLI has several enhancements.

Did you upgrade AnkhSVN to a version compatible with SVN 1.6 when you
upgraded TSVN?

If you touch a WC with multiple clients, all those clients must be
built on the same major.minor SVN libraries due to WC format changes.

Client & server versions are independent as long as you stay within
1.x. Newer features will be partially or completely disabled depending
upon what versions you have in the mix, but with a 1.5 server
(VisualSVN Server 1.6 is SVN 1.5) and 1.6 clients, there's no change
in functionality.
