Expected format problem
I'll bet this is an oft asked question on this list. I'm getting the error:
svn: Expected FS format '2'; found format '4'
If I understand correctly, this means that my local version of svn
differs from the remote version of svn. Is this right? I installed
1.6.9 today on both my local version and my remote version and got the
above error. Is there something else that I missed here?
Thanks,
Jeremy

So what is the correct way to set the PATH?

Absolutely. The PATH you've defined for use when you log in via ssh interactively isn't necessarily the same PATH that will be used when connecting via ssh non-interactively (such as when using svn+ssh).

I am accessing the repository via svn+ssh. I think the problem is
that I have some version in /usr/bin and another version in
~/usr/local/bin. When I'm logged in, the version used is
~/usr/local/bin and that is 1.6.9. The version in /usr/bin is 1.4.2.
Is it possible that these versions are getting mixed up?
Thanks,
Jeremy

No, it means the version of Subversion that is directly reading the repository is older than the version of Subversion that created the repository.
"Directly reading" means probably the version of Subversion on the server, assuming you are using a repository access protocol other than file:///.

What protocol are you using? If http:// or https:// you may have forgotten to update mod_dav_svn as well.
