Hello Justin, I have been using TortoiseSVN "Create repository here" function, from Windows file explorer menu, either on a local drive or a mounted SMB share on the local network. I went through the release notes quite quickly but didn't find a specific answer related to "format 8" reported error messages. My finding was from a search that lead to a forum user comment somewhere. The error I was getting from using the software with SVN 1.9 was as follow:
Unable to connect to a repository at ...... Unable to open repository 'file.....' " Expected FS format between '1' and '7'; found format '8' The release notes do indicate some compatibility issues, but isn't very specific. However the server option might resolve it. Thanks.
