Ah, Realization. How you come to me, sledgehammer in hand. amalia:~ $ cd ~/tests/ ### a 1.7 working copy directory amalia:~/tests $ svn st -v 2213 2072 cmpilato . amalia:~/tests $ mkdir -p A/B/C/D/E/F/G amalia:~/tests $ cd A/B/C/D/E/F/G amalia:~/tests/A/B/C/D/E/F/G $ ~/projects/subversion/branches/1.6.x/subversion/svn/svn co --depth empty http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf subversion/libsvn_wc/questions.c:79: (apr_err=155021) svn: The path 'asf' appears to be part of a Subversion 1.7 or greater working copy rooted at '/home/cmpilato/tests'. Please upgrade your Subversion client to use this working copy.
I would assume this to mean that if you have a computer with, say, the root directory under version control with Subversion 1.7, you can pretty much never use Subversion 1.6 on that machine. I would also assume that, since my ~/projects/subversion directory is a 1.7 working copy, I would be unable to run the 1.6 test suite from ~/projects/subversion/branches/1.6.x. But I don't see similar problems when I try that. Whyzat? Anybody know? -- C. Michael Pilato <cmpil...@red-bean.com> | http://cmpilato.blogspot.com/
