Upgrading repo without using svnserve

[Richard Boyce]

This may be a stupid question, but I'm using svn (via TortoiseSVN and 
client 1.16.16) to a file-based repo (i.e. no subversion server). When I 
try to re-integrate a branch, I get "Retrieval of merginfo unsupported".

Searches for this say I need to upgrade the repo with "svnadmin 
--upgrade" - but svnadmin is part of svnserver, which I don't use. Do I 
have to install svnserve (or just svnadmin) to do this (then uninstall 
svnserve if I don't want to continue with it?)
