SVN upgrade working copy

Question

I cannot do a SVN commit. I get this error:

org.apache.subversion.javahl.ClientException: The working copy needs to be upgraded
svn: Working copy \'C:\\....          


        

Answer 1

You can upgrade to Subversion 1.7. In order to update to Subversion 1.7 you have to launch existing project in Xcode 5 or above. This will prompt an warning ‘The working copy ProjectName should be upgraded to Subversion 1.7’ (shown in below screenshot).

You should select ‘Upgrade’ button to upgrade to Subversion 1.7. This will take a bit of time.

If you are using terminal then you can upgrade to Subversion 1.7 by running below command in your project directory: svn upgrade

Note that once you have upgraded to Subversion 1.7 you cannot go back to Subversion 1.6.

Refer Apple docs for more details.
