svn client doesn't work after upgrading to 1.7: working copy is too old

Tags:

I was using VisualSVN client and server on local machine + MS Visual Studio for a while.

Today I decided to upgrade tortoisesvn to the latest version (because it popups every time that never version is available).

After that I can not commit/browse history etc. from VS. tortoisesvn reports such error:

Working copy "C:\pathtorepository" is too old (format 10, created by Subversion 1.6).

How to fix my problem? Should I rollback tortoisesvn from 1.7 to 1.6?

What is a svn working copy?

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.

What does svn upgrade do?

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.

Is TortoiseSVN backwards compatible?

However, newer versions should also work as TortoiseSVN is typically backward-compatible to earlier server versions. Please follow the Installation and Configuration Instructions for TortoiseSVN.

Use svn upgrade ( added in 1.7) to upgrade your working copy.

Or Right click on the folder in Explorer -> Choose SVN Upgrade working copy

You will also have to update VisualSVN to 2.5.1 - http://www.visualsvn.com/visualsvn/changes/
