SVN FSFS format value for 1.8?
According to the release notes:
http://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.8.html#fsfs-enhancements
We should have seen a bump in the FSFS format number to '6' for 1.8.
But when I'm looking at the 'format' file inside the FSFS repository
directory on the server, I'm seeing '5'.
# svnadmin --version
svnadmin, version 1.8.1 (r1503906)
compiled Jul 17 2013, 10:30:55 on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
# svnadmin create /backup/svndump/test3
# cat /backup/svndump/test3/format
5
It makes me think that I still have remnants of 1.7 floating around in
the system (which was previously installed from source). Even though I
removed the old 'svn*' executables from bin folders and removed the old
'libsvn*' libraries from lib folders.

Yes, the two files have different purposes.
repo/format describes the format of the repository.
repo/db/format describes the format of the repository filesystem.

Okay, so I was looking at the wrong thing.
That still raises the question (in my mind) of why the two values are
different on a freshly created repository.
# svnadmin create test4
# cat test4/format
5
# cat test4/db/format
6
layout sharded 1000
Or is the "format" file in the root used for something else?

Check the file /backup/svndump/test3/db/format.
