In the change log for Subversion 1.6 [1] there is the following line for 1.6.9. * teach 1.6.x to recognize 1.7 working copies (1.6.x-future-proof branch) I do not have a ready answer for your question, but the above may give you some clue where to look at. [1] http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/CHANGES IIRC, the purpose of those changes was to print a warning for 1.6 users if they invoke svn on an 1.7 working copy.
