I have had trouble in the past using Tortoise on the server then accessing the repository over the internet. There seems to be a lot of dependency on versions. I currently am using 1.4.4 with Apache 2.2.4. When the person who initially loaded the archive did it he was using Tortoise with a network mounted drive and we found that the file format value (in the format file) was not compatible with the server setup. Currently, format contains a 5. Can I use the latest Tortoise or do I need to load an older one?
You should not have a problem between different client/server versions. However, different clients accessing the same working copy all have to be the same version number (like command line and tortoise) because the newest one will adjust the format so the older clients can't work.
BTW, thanks for your patience. This is my first attempt at setting up and administering subversion and I realize some (if not all) questions are basic. I have looked over the documentation but because the repository was not set up according to the recommended structure, things don't seem to work as they I expect.
If you are just getting started, I'd recommend using something much more current than a 1.4.x on the server side.
