What does the number in the Repository file "format" represent ?

[Phil Pinkerton <pc...@gmail.com>]

How can we determine what version of Subversion a Repository currently is.

5 =  1.4 ?  or 1.5 ?

Need to wire a script to check for older versions as we upgraded the FSFS server from 1.4.x to 1.5.x then 1.6.x

Make sure you distinguish between the two different format files. The format file directly in the repository root is not relevant to this question (AFAIR it has been "5" for a long time); look instead at the format file in the db directory in the repository root. For a newly-created repository under Subversion 1.6.17, format is "5" and db/format is "4
