Hi Christian and Jan,
Jan has it right, it is possible to use an older (1.4.x) client with the
server for stuff like checkout, info, log, status and commits. Only
rebasing (wich is based on mergetracking) will not work correctly. I'll
implement a SVN version check in "cws rebase" to prevent the use of old
clients for that particular purpose.
Any use of a 1.5.x client will render the working copy to the 1.5 format
I think, so effectively we all should use new clients.
I tried an svnsync lately and it's able to sync the vastly shrinked
repository (now it's 6GB or so) in less than a weekend over a
particularly bad line. With a good line (DSL 4MBit or so) everything
should be there in - say - less than a day. The server is quite capable
and the network connection of the server is also good.
Heiner
PS: I'm back to work so we can start the migration on DEV 300 m31 basis.

Does this mean that also the clients need to use version 1.5.1 or
newer? Or can clients use an older version? (esp. if only getting the
sources is done)
As I was myself interested as well, I googled a bit, and it seems that the
subversion developers say in
http://blogs.open.collab.net/svn/2007/10/considerations-.html that
- it is perfectly OK to do it ("any 1.0-1.4 clients can talk to a 1.5 server")
- and pretty dangerous to do ("Doing a merge with an old client will work, but
will not set any of the merge tracking information when the change is
committed. This simply means that someone using a 1.5 client later will
attempt to merge the same info again and get conflicts.") [they also talk
about fixing that using svn merge --record-only]
Unfortunately, no idea about your other question, the mirror (svnsync)
performante. I'd be interested as well...
Regards,
Jan
