The biggest change between 1.6 and 1.7 is the new centralized working directory. Much like Git, SVN has now gone to a one-meta-directory-per-workspace concept, instead of the old CVS style .svn directories in each sub directory.
Generally speaking: you should be able to successfully upgrade without much trouble. To do it cleanly though: 1. Get all your working areas committed to your SVN server. 2. Remove your working areas 3. Backup your SVN server 4. Upgrade your SVN server (there should be appropriate steps in the SVN docs) 5. Upgrade your SVN client 6. Checkout new working areas Obviously, non-dependent steps can be done in other orders. Just my 2cp though. Other people might do it differently. Also, unless there's a new feature you want, not doing anything is a perfectly appropriate option, and the one I'd tend to advise. - Steve On Sat, Mar 31, 2012 at 8:45 PM, Bucky Junior <[email protected]> wrote: > Slow on the uptake here.
