I'm starting on a new team who are all on PCs using TortoiseSVN with SVN version 1.9.2. I'm on a Mac OSX (El Capitan) using the Versionsapp. When I check svn --version in terminal i get 1.7.10.
When I try any svn command such as svn update I get
svn: E155021: This client is too old to work with the working copy at
'/Users/dpowell/Desktop/sites/site.org.new' (format 31).
You need to get a newer Subversion client. For more details, see
http://subversion.apache.org/faq.html#working-copy-format-change
I've gone to the site and downloaded the python script but don't know it will do anything to help (i.e. I don't know how to use it). I've also downloaded the 1.9 package and tried installing svn that way.
I'm not sure what path to take to solve this issue
The Python script you downloaded from there was to downgrade your SVN version - you need to upgrade your SVN version. I recommend going the homebrew route - it will save you lots of pain in upgrading / installing OSX packages in the future.
Follow the instructions here: http://brew.sh/
(copy that line into a terminal an press ENTER, then follow the prompts)
Then, when homebrew is installed, so update SVN, just do brew install svn.
In Terminal, type "svn --version" to find out what version you currently have
Go to http://www.wandisco.com/subversion/download#osx and download the latest client for OS X and install it. This will install the new svn into /opt/subversion/bin
Got to your terminal and check your $PATH by typing "echo $PATH". If you don't see /opt/subversion/bin in there, make sure you add it by typing export PATH=/opt/subversion/bin:$PATH. If it DOES exist and appears AFTER /usr/bin, then you may need to remove an older copy of svn that came installed on OS X. To do so, go to /usr/bin and remove all files starting with svn. This isn't an exact science but it should do the trick.
For me export PATH=/opt/subversion/bin:$PATH worked as it was installed in /opt/subversion/bin
Make sure you reload your .profile first by typing
. ./.profile*
Type "svn --version". You should see that you have the newest version installed!
brew upgrade subversion

I want to downgrade the swiftlint version on my MBP M1 Pro.
I installed it using brew install swiftlint
In homebrew/Cellar/swiftlint the folder is 0.49.1 which I guess is the version installed on my machine.
I googled and tried a few methods. But non of them worked for me.
First:
brew install <url of older github raw file> is not working
Second:
brew install swiftlint#0.47.0 was also not working
Third:
I downloaded portable_zip of 0.47.0 form github, extracted and created a new folder homebrew/Cellar/swiftlint/0.47.0 and pasted the content there. After double clicking on the executable file swiftlint starts running.
Then ran brew switch swiftlint 0.47.0 but it was also not working
I also tried deleting the alias from homebrew/bin/swiftlint and pasted new alias from homebrew/Cellar/swiftlint/0.47.0 folder's executable there, but it was also not working.
Can anyone help me out what I am doing wrong, and what should be the correct steps.
I am new to macOS.
I have found a work around. Earlier I wasn't aware how files, applictions works in MacOS, where does the data for applications go.
I am writing down the steps for swiftlint, maybe similar steps might be used to downgrade any other tool on MacOS (on M1 pro macbook).
What worked for me was:
First of all I installed xcode's older version manually, xcode-select --print-path was different so I changed it with sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer.
Then I uninstalled the swiftlint using brew uninstall command.
Then from github I downloaded .pkg file of exact version I wanted, and installed it.
Also downloaded portable zip from same repository and extracted the contents and pasted them in homebrew/Cellar/swiftlint/
Made one alias of executable file of the previous step extracted files and pasted that in homebrew/bin
Then this exact version of swiftlint was installed for me, and now it works fine.
Hope this helps someone.
Using an iMac running OSX 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion). It's a work computer and can't upgrade to a higher OS version at the moment for various reasons.
I tried installing XCode so that I can use Git but it isn't working.
In terminal I run:
git --version
and get this response:
-bash: git: command not found
What am I doing wrong?
You need to install git separately:
http://burnedpixel.com/blog/setting-up-git-and-github-on-your-mac/
Source control was only introduced into Xcode 4. This however does not mean git is installed onto your system as part of downloading Xcode. It just means that you can use some git features in a Xcode project by pressing the source control button at the top. To install the actual git go here.
I'm don't know why it appears to be so, but it looks like Git still isn't installed on your computer. Another way to check if Git is installed is by using the which git command. If that still doesn't help, install it separately. Download Git for Mac.
Recently GitHub recommended us to update the git client on our machines.
news on vulnerability
So I type in console
git --version //getting 2.0.1
which git //getting /usr/local/git/bin/git
Then I upload one from here(2.2.1, for instance):
The Git core team site
I unzip it and then I cant figure it out where to put unzipped files because files under /usr/local/git are so different,
what do I need to do to install it?
Update: for everyone curious about my question, this particular link have the answers
Since you appear to be using Linux (or maybe Max OSX) you'll need to use one of the package managers. The Download page for Git on Linux has more information.
For Mac OS you'll need to use Homebrew or MacPorts.
Otherwise you'll have to download the source code, make and make install the newest version of Git if the Linux and Mac package managers don't have the newest release listed.
Installing Git
I am trying to import some gradle projects in my Spring Tool Suite . I have installed Subclipse 1.10.5 in my STS and svn client installed in my machine is 1.8.8 . I have tried downgrading to 1.7.10 on my mac but still I get the same problem while importing .
For others SVN 1.7.10 and Subclipse 1.10.5 seems to work fine but in my machine I am getting the error
svn: E155021: This client is too old to work with the working copy at
'/Users/agarg/Documents/Mars/trunk' (format '31')
Stuck here for some time now and unable to resolve this . Tried a lot of things as I found over the net but still stuck.
I had this problem on Mac OS Yosemite with Webstorm and IntelliJ.
svn --version on the command line printed 1.8, but even with command line client option enabled with value svn in Webstorm/IntelliJ I was getting the warning.
Running which svn and pasting the value (/usr/local/bin/svn for me) into WebStorm->Preferences->Version Control->Subversion->Use command line client removed the warning and fixed the issues I was having in Webstorm and IntelliJ.
The working copy has format understandable by SVN 1.8 client, but your client is SVN 1.7 or older.
You should double-check what Subclipse / SVNKit / svn.exe client versions you have on your system.
Try accessing the working copy from command-line and see whether you get the same error.
If you definitely have svn installed and running at the correct version you want, this error means the metadata in your project refers to an older version of subversion. Upgrade it by following this guide: http://www.robsearles.com/2008/12/svn-client-is-too-old-to-work-with-working-copy-solution-using-rsync/
I had this same issue on OSX. I have been able to upgrade the SVN by following the step by step guide here:
URL: http://andowebsit.es/blog/noteslog.com/post/how-to-upgrade-subversion-on-osx/
First check which svn version you have:
$ svn --version
svn, version 1.7.17 (r1591372)
compiled Aug 7 2014, 17:03:25
...
Seems like its old version, so update it.
$ brew update
$ brew install subversion
This will take some seconds to install. Now check how many svn you have. You will see the another entry belew.
$ which -a svn
/usr/bin/svn
/usr/local/bin/svn
Edit the ~/.bash_profile with
export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"
And then
$ source ~/.bash_profile
$ svn --version
svn, version 1.8.10 (r1615264)
compiled Aug 25 2014, 10:57:58 on x86_64-apple-darwin13.3.0
...
Now you will see the SVN verison is upgraded from 1.7 to 1.8.
Same problem here (SVN 1.8 client on W7, STS 3.6.3, eclipse-plugin: subversive SVN Team provider 1.1.x and SVNKit Implementation 3.0.x).
Upgrading (in STS) the SVN Team provider to 2.03.x and SVNKit to 4.1.2 solved the problem.
Got this error ON MAC OS X but you believe you have available the right version?
First look at how many svn
$ which -a svn
/usr/local/bin/svn
/usr/bin/svn
/usr/local/bin/svn
Look at the output for each of the output using the --version flag. You might notice that the default which output is not the same as the default command output:
$ command -v svn
/usr/bin/svn
$ which svn
/usr/local/bin/svn
You might be tempted to update some symlinks or your PATH variable but before doing so try from a new console, it might be just that you are hitting a console open before you installed the latest version. I would even try restarting before attempting to change PATH or symlinks.
Easiest way:
1. execute which -a svn in terminal;
2. modify the enviroment file(like ~/.bash_profile), and use the older version svn;
3. checkout svn code with your older svn;
4. import it into your IDE;
5. DONE.
I had similar issue in my program while checking out code from SVN through my Java program .
TO resolve i closed the eclipse workspace and deleted the folder in which i was checking out the files on my local directory.It worked for me.
Thanks to all for their solution. I was struggling with this issue for couple of days. I had installed old version 1.7 with PC login of Cygwin environment.
Later i had to install version 1.9 because i wanted to use svn command. For most of the time i was looking for a file /.bash_profile on my PC or file which would have path usr/local/bin.
But i always found path cygwin/usr/local/bin. I kept neglecting it.
After doing so many trial and error, i took simple chance.
Went to Environment Variable PATH, and cut path "C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin\bin" and pasted before "cygwin/usr/local/bin"
And later svn --version detected my latest version 1.9 :)
is there a place I can get just the cvs executable for OSX as a standalone binary?
I don't want to go through the whole rigamarole of having to download XCode just to get cvs, which I don't use, except the source for flickrj is only published via a cvs repository.
Using Homebrew:
brew tap homebrew/dupes # cvs is on the homebrew-dupes repository.
brew install cvs

https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-dupes
https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-dupes/pull/201
Edit: I don't have it installed here (unfortunately I'm in a Windows machine) but yes, CVS is actually part of Homebrew core, so no need for the dupes repo, for both macOS and Linux versions of Homebrew. brew install cvs should be enough.

All links below dead, and the below instructions only appear to work pre OS X Mavericks.
This answer on apple.stackexchange.com appears to solve the issue using 3rd party package managers.

ref Apple Xcode Installation Guide
You could install Fink http://www.finkproject.org/download/index.php?phpLang=en then use Fink to install CVS for you, this would be the easiest way.
Alternatively, you could try a BSD binary from from the CVS project website, that might work. The CVS project is now at nongnu.org/cvs/
I just learned nowadays installing xcode is a breeze.
Start installation of xcode from App Store
Have lunch
Type xcrun cvs at the command prompt and - well - enjoy cvs...
If you have xcode installed, the cvs command-line binary is in /Developer/usr/bin, so putting it your path is:
export PATH=/Developer/usr/bin:$PATH
once Xcode is installed with commandline Utillities
export PATH=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin:$PATH
for newer versions of Xcode.
no moving xcode from place to place! =)
