I have a remote SVN repository that I connect to via HTTPS. The repository is using Subversion 1.5.1. I am running OS X 10.7, which I believe comes with SVN 1.6, but I’m not using that at the moment.
When checking out a working copy, which format should I be using?
I was using a working copy format of 1.6. Is that acceptable if the repository is 1.5, or should I be using a 1.5 working copy format?
Are there any advantages to using a 1.6 or 1.7 working copy format if the repository is 1.5?
Subversion clients are backward compatible with older server versions excluding some new functions (http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/compatibility.html).
The 1.7 client has one huge advantage — centralized metadata storage. All metadata are stored in a single folder in the root of the working copy.
I would recommend to use 1.7 for the working copy.
