Yes, Subversion changed their working copy format between 1.3 and 1.4, so if you've touched your working copy with a 1.4 client (such as the TortoiseSVN you mention) you'll have to use 1.4+ to work with it. > How do I do that? Here's an announcement from the cygwin project regarding an updated package being available for cygwin, so you should be home free if you can run the cygwin installer/updater: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2006-12/msg00004.html More info on the svn packages available from cygwin: http://cygwin.com/packages/subversion/ On the front page they link to http://cygwin.com/setup.exe with the text "Install or update now!", so I figure that one's what you want. I'm not using cygwin myself, so no guarantees. But good luck. =) -- Anders Morken My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I am right!
