Upgrade svnserve

["Harvey, Edward" <Ed...@patni.com>]

I plan to upgrade svn from 1.2 to 1.4.  All the clients, and svnserve.

Is there any special consideration in changing svnserve?  Just stop the old one and start the new one?

If I understand right, the 1.4 client will automatically upgrade the working copy in-place, and we should never attempt svn 1.2 client on that WC again.  Right?

Subversion 1.5's release is imminent (currently at release candidate
5). Sure you don't want to wait?

The release notes are very informative.
http://subversion.tigris.org/svn_1.4_releasenotes.html You can just
overlay the binaries, but you may want to perform a dump/load cycle to
take advantage of the improved diff algorithm introduced in 1.4
(whether you go with 1.4 or wait for 1.5).

You are correct.
