Make sure not to confuse *a repository* with *a working copy*! * Repository: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.basic.version-control-basics.html#svn.basic.repository * Working copy: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.basic.version-control-basics.html#svn.basic.working-copy It's common for new Subversion users to confuse these terms. Generally speaking, repository is a server-side entity while working copy is a user's local private working copy. (I guess that there is some confusion since the subject has "repository" and the email text refers to "working copy"). * If you are asking about repositories. You can use your existing repositories with Subversion 1.8 server. Though, if you want to benefit from some newer Subversion features, you need to upgrade your repositories. See Compatibility Concerns section in Subversion 1.8 Release Notes at http://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.8.html#compatibility * If you are asking about working copies. If you upgrade your clients to Subversion 1.8, users will need to upgrade their working copies to newer format. They can simply checkout new working copies as well. http://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.8.html#wc-upgrade See "Upgrading the Working Copy" Release Notes section at http://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.8.html#wc-upgrade Thank you. -- With best regards, Pavel Lyalyakin VisualSVN Team VERNALIS EMAIL NOTICE -------------------------------------- The information contained in this email and any attachments is confidential and may be subject to copyright or other intellectual property protection.
