Because a SVN client is able to access the SVN server files directly, without using a network protocol. If you run a SVN Debian server, this means that your TortoiseSVN clients are connecting to the server using a network protocol, not through direct file access (http:// or svn://, not file://) In this case, the SVN repository files is accessed with a SVN client, which means the repository files should be compliant with the SVN *client* version. The fact is that the repository format has changed as well from SVN 1.5 and 1.6; in other words, it is not sure whether a SVN 1.6 client can modify the repository structure of a SVN 1.5 server. I hope not. If the repository has been created with a SVN server 1.5 and *has not been upgraded* to the 1.6 format, then this might work. However, if for some reason the SVN repository is upgraded to the 1.6 format, then no SVN server 1.5 libraries will no longer be able to access the repository: svnadmin --version svnadmin, version 1.5.5 (r34862) compiled Dec 22 2008, 23:19:59 svnadmin verify testrepos svnadmin: Expected FS format between '1' and '3'; found format '4' Now the fun part: if Sajjad has created the repository using TortoiseSVN, it's the same issue (using the "Create repository here" TortoiseSVN menu item): the repository will be using a v4 (1.6) format, and no SVN server v3 (1.5) will be able to use it: svnadmin: Expected FS format between '1' and '3'; found format '4' I don't think a SVN client accessing a repository using direct access (through file://) may upgrade an existing repository: it has to be done through a "svnadmin upgrade" command. I'm not sure though, this assumption should be verified. Therefore, Sajjad needs to create his repository with the "svnadmin create" command using a 1.5 version. He may not use the "Create repository here" feature from TortoiseSVN HTH, Manu --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Users" group.
