SVN / Subversion 1.7 and Eclipse Subversive & JavaHL
I'm using Subversion with version 1.6.5 on the server. I use Subclipse (version 1.6) in STS as a client for certain tasks, but I more commonly use a 1.7.0 subversion command-line client.
Why 1.7 for the command-line client? No good reason.
So I made a branch with the command-line client, and now when I try to use Subclipse to "Update to HEAD", it tells me:
org.tigris.subversion.javahl.ClientException: Unsupported working copy format
svn: The path 'C:\code\workspace\my_app' appears to be part of a Subversion 1.7 or greater working copy. Please upgrade your Subversion client to use this working copy.
What can I do to take make this project understandable to Subclipse? Presuming that I will not have the authority to bring everything up to date, is their a way to make this project acceptable to a 1.6 client without losing progress?
The command-line client I am using is in Cygwin.

The working copy will be located in a directory called trunk on your computer relative to the directory you issued the command in. If you wish to have a different name for your working copy you can add that as a parameter to the end of the command. e.g. This will create a working copy called MyProjectSource .
A Subversion working copy is your own private working area, which looks like any other ordinary directory on your system. It contains a COPY of those files which you will have been editing on the website.
Using the latest versions of Subclipse, you can actually view them without using the cmd prompt. On the file, simply right-click => Team => Switch to another branch/tag/revision.

Subversion 1.7.0 Support
Subclipse 1.8.x releases are now available and includes support for Subversion 1.7.0 including the new WC-NG format.
Once a newer SVN client touches a working copy it upgrades the working copy layout to its new format. You cannot go back, and you cannot mix SVN clients of different versions, be they GUI based or command-line based. I suggest upgrading to the newer Subclipse. It will understand the new 1.7 layout.
