Svn 1.8.3 error: E200007
I have just today started using the svn merge command to update my private
branch from a remote repo trunk on Sourceforge.
In my branch work dir I execute:
$ svn merge ^/brlcad/trunk .
and the response is:
svn: E200007: Retrieval of mergeinfo unsupported by 'svn+ssh://
tbrowder2@svn.code.sf.net/p/brlcad/code/brlcad/branches/attr-extension-mods'
I see some mail in the archives about the same error number but not the
exact same command.
I am using old (but legit) Debian apr and apr-util libraries but I am using
the latest serf embedded with the svn source (./get-deps.sh).
Note the "old" way does work:
$ svn merge ^/brlcad/trunk -r57266:HEAD
but keeping track of the revs is a real pain. Should I file a bug?
(I got the same error with ver 1.8.1.)
Best regards,
-Tom

Ah! Thanks, Brane.
Is there any way to check a repo format version?

The protocol, and even the server version, aren't that important
(although obviously the server has to be 1.5 or newer). The point is
that the repository was created with 1.4 or older, and never upgraded.

The Sourceforge server is using ver 1.7.7.
Note that I'm using the svn+ssh protocol. I'll try the https and see if
that makes a difference.
Best,

Your problem is that either the server is too old, or the repository
format is too old to support mergeinfo. Most likely the repository was
created by a version of svnadmin older than 1.5, and never upgraded. See:
