+</h4>
+
+<p>Subversion 1.6 introduced support for <a
href="1.6.html#fsfs-packing">packing
+ FSFS revision files</a>, and Subversion 1.7.x alpha releases (up to
+1.7.0-alpha3) supported packing of revprops into an SQLite database. Any
+FSFS-backed repositories that were <tt>svnadmin create</tt>d or
+<tt>svnadmin upgrade</tt>d by <tt>svnadmin</tt> from a nightly build or
+from an alpha release of the 1.7.x line are <strong>not</strong> supported by
+the final 1.7.0 release. It is required to <tt>dump</tt> these repositories
+using an <tt>svnadmin</tt> built from the 1.7.0-alpha3 release in order to
+upgrade them for the 1.7.0 release.</p>
+
+<p>Subversion 1.7 will complain when it encounters such repositories, with
+the following error:</p>
+
+<pre class="todo">
+### TODO
+</pre>
+
+<p>We reiterate that this lack of upgrade path is within the latitude of
+our <a href="/download/#pre-releases">policy for pre-releases</a>. We may
+provide in the future a script to downgrade a repository in-place to the
+format supported by both 1.6 and 1.7. (We will welcome <a href="/contributing"
+>contributions</a> of such a script.)</p>
+
+<p>We plan to reintroduce revprop packing in a future release; see <a
+href="http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3944";
+>issue #3944</a> for details.</p>
