I have updated to the latest of SVN on my Windows 7 to 1.7. When I went to my working copy, it requires me to upgrade the working copy to 1.7 format to be able to work. There's no other options. But I'm afraid that if I do upgrade, the version of local working copy and the version of the repository on the server are different and there may appear the inconsistent format error or something like that. I don't want to risk the code changes on local. Should I upgrade to format 1.7 or not? Is there solution for me to go back to previous?
The SVN update Command. The svn update command lets you refresh your locally checked out repository with any changes in the repository HEAD on the server. It also tells you what has been changed, added, deleted. If a change has been made to a file you have also changed locally, svn will try to merge those changes.
Subversion is used for maintaining current and historical versions of projects. Subversion is an open source centralized version control system. It's licensed under Apache. It's also referred to as a software version and revisioning control system.
No, the repository need not be updated but the working copy will have to be updated.
Upgrading the working copy means, older clients cannot use the working copy, but you can work with older servers / repos using the newer working copy / client
No, you can leave the repository alone: https://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.7.html
If you use something like uberSVN you can toggle between 1.6 and 1.7.
