I have using two OS on my machine(Fedora 9 and Windows XP). and Workspace or Project environment i am using same directory which present on NTFS partition.
Few days back when i am working on one project(Fedora 9). and tried to commit my code. i got following error:
svn: This client is too old to work with working copy ‘.’; please get a newer Subversion client
I searched lot on google but not found any proper solution. But i got to know i am using subversion 1.6.2 on windows machine and fedora box i am using older version 1.4.2. That is reason i get the error.
I tried following command:
yum update subversion
But this not worked for fedora9.
I need to install subversion 1.6.2 to solve the problem. But later on realize that there is no upgraded stable version available for Fedora or Linux.
I goon through so many articles but not found exact solution.
Here is solution of this problem. I found this solution in Subversion faq page.
Download and run a python script(http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/tools/client-side/change-svn-wc-format.py) to set the working copy back to the your subversion-
cd $PROJECT_DIR
chmod +x change-svn-wc-format.py
./change-svn-wc-format.py . 1.4
This will solve your problem.
Important Note:This method helpfull to 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6 subversion software.

How-do-you-do, just needed you to know I have added your site to my Google bookmarks because of your extraordinary blog layout. But seriously, I think your site has one of the freshest theme I’ve came across. It really helps make reading your blog a lot easier.

Hi webmaster – This is by far the best looking site I’ve seen. It was completely easy to navigate and it was easy to look for the information I needed. Fantastic layout and great content! Every site should have that. Awesome job
Hi. this is kind of an “unconventional” question , but have other visitors asked you how get the menu bar to look like you’ve got it? I also have a blog and am really looking to alter around the theme, however am scared to death to mess with it for fear of the search engines punishing me. I am very new to all of this …so i am just not positive exactly how to try to to it all yet. I’ll just keep working on it one day at a time.
