No, it's also supported with older servers. But a 1.8 server will give better performance when the client asks for inherited properties (which is the mechanism used to implement the repository-dictated configuration) [1]. I don't know how much difference it makes in practice (I don't use the feature myself yet). I guess it depends heavily on your repository size and structure (deeply nested vs. shallow directory structures).
