Subversion 1.7 upgrade

[Ann Friauf <An...@codeobjects.com>]

I upgraded to Subversion 1.7. I installed the Subversion 1.7 command line client and TortoiseSVN 1.7. I successfully upgraded the working copy on several folders. On the last one, after doing the upgrade, it shows 2 modifications. In both cases when I diff the modified files, the base version was empty while the working copy had the correct file.

I tried the Update and then the Cleanup command but saw no changes. Then I tried to revert the files. When I attempted to revert, I got the following error. Does anyone have any suggestions for cleaning up my tree other than deleting it and doing a fresh checkout?

You'll need to get a fresh checkout.

This error is due to a dormant problem in the 1.6 working copy (i.e.
you would have run into this with 1.6 as well eventually).
We aren't sure yet whether it's possible to make the upgrade code work
around this in a future release. We don't really know what the problem
in the 1.6 working copy really was.
