New svn:externals format - Does it work with pre-1.5 clients?

[David Weintraub <qa...@gmail.com>]

I like the new format for svn:externals, but I do have a little
question: If my server is 1.5 and my client is 1.3, does this scheme
still work.

I noticed that the documentation mentioned the word "client" in the
title. I would assume that it is the server that fetches the externals
and that the server reads and interprets the svn:externals format.

So in what situations can I use the new svn:externals format?

Server Version/Client Version - Does the new svn:externals format work?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.5 Server/Pre-1.5 Client - ?
1.5 Server/1.5 Client - Yes
Pre-1.5 Server/1.5 Client - ?
Pre-1.5 Server/Pre-1.5 Client - No

It is purely a client feature.  Requires 1.5.  The Subversion releases
notes provide the exact information you are looking for:

http://subversion.tigris.org/svn_1.5_releasenotes.html

See the compatibility table.
