I was using the TortoiseSVN 1.7.11 client (Windows 7). I updated it to 1.8 and then it worked for some time with the 1.8 release. But other machines with which I'm working are still using 1.7.11, and I can't upgrade them so I thought of downgrading to 1.7.11. Now it's not working at all. I took a fresh checkout and it still asks to upgrade the working copy.
When I click this option, it says "can't upgrade as it is not a pre-1.7 working copy directory. Missing default entry. I tried removing registries and delete configuration information from %appdata% folder too, but it doesn't fix the issue.
For people who don't read the comments first.
Backup any changes you have in your working directory
Uninstall TortoiseSVN 1.8
Reboot
Install TortoiseSVN 1.7
Do a fresh checkout into a new directory
Manually copy any needed changes from your backup to new directory
Ther is no need to check out to a separate directory and lose local changes.
After downgrading to TortoiseSVN 1.7 it is possible to recreate the SVN 1.7 format by:
Removing all the .svn directories
for /d /r . %d in (.svn) do #if exist "%d" rd /s/q "%d"
Checkout using --force:
svn co --force <repo_url> <local_dir>
You have not performed a fresh checkout with the TortoiseSVN 1.7 client. If you had, you wouldn't get working copy format errors.
Remove TortoiseSVN 1.8.0, install TortoiseSVN 1.7.x, and checkout a fresh working copy.

So I upgraded to MacOS Sierra and now whenever I try to do anything in my working copy I get the error that it
"is too old (format 29) to work with client version '1.9.4 (r1740329)' (expects format 31). You need to upgrade the working copy first."
When I run svn upgrade, as it suggests it says
"Can't open file /.svn/entries: No such file or directory"
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
Open Terminal
go to error folder. ex : cd svn/project/game
command write only "svn upgrade"
Your problem is that the version of the SVN client got upgraded locally; whereas your local working copy (and the server) didn't change! Now the new client is unable to work with the existing working copy.
Now you have three choices:
You can try to get your new SVN client to accept the existing working copy
You downgrade your local SVN client to the previous version
You throw your existing repositories away and start with fresh checkouts
For option 1, you might look here or there.
For option 2, this might help.
Option 3; I guess, is the one-line-no-brainer which maybe costs you download time, but should come with the least amount of "you spending your time" debugging this (unless you got a ton of uncommitted changes sitting in your current repositories). But of course, you would first try to create a new checkout with the new client, before throwing the old directory away.
I solved my problem by doing the 'svn upgrade' on the 'cd' of root folder of the project
I got error when execute 'svn upgrade'.
I had used svn 1.6 in Mac OS Lion. And i updated to Mac OS Mountain Lion few days ago.
so i have to upgrade svn.
I usually use Terminal application and execute svn command in CUI.
when i execute 'svn update'
$ svn update svn:
E155036: Please see the 'svn upgrade' command svn: E155036: Working
copy 'xxxxx' is too old
(format 10, created by Subversion 1.6)
when i execute 'svn upgrade'
$ svn upgrade
...
Upgraded
'aaaaa'
Upgraded
'bbbbb'
Upgraded
'ccccc'
Upgraded
'ddddd'
svn: E155016: This working copy is corrupt and cannot be upgraded.
Please check out a new working copy. svn: E155016: The file
'eeeee'
has no checksum
BY the way, the error file has Japanese Character in file name.
Maybe this is cause.
So How should i resolve this problem?
Thanks.
Looks like you've switched from 1.6 to 1.7 or 1.8. You don't mention where you got your copy of svn 1.6 you're using but it's possible you were using one that was patched with the fix for the unicode composition issue. Specifically there is a patch that's floating around that's in common usage but hasn't been applied to the project as a whole since it is not a complete solution. I'm not sure if Japanese would run into these problems since I don't know much about Japanese but it seems plausible.
I'd suggest that you create a new checkout from the working copy with your new Subversion client. I'm not sure if there is a good way to recover from this situation. In particular I'm not sure if the patch is capable of ensuring that svn upgrade executes properly.
On the other hand this might have nothing to do with the unicode issues on OS X and your working copy might just have been corrupted in a way that didn't turn up until recently. The upgrade command needs to touch everything in order to convert from the old flat file system to sqlite. So it often turns up corrupted working copies. It's usually not worth the effort to try to debug the corruption when you can do a new checkout.
If you have uncommitted changes you want to preserve in your working copy I'd suggest that you checkout the same revision(s) of the contents of your working copy with the new version. You ought to be able to figure out the version with an old 1.6 svnversion command or by manual inspection of the .svn/entries files. Once you've done that, rsync the contents of the old working copy over the new working copy while ignoring the .svn directories. Then run an svn update. If you don't get the versions of the working copy checkout exactly right you might have some additional issues when you run update. But hopefully you don't have too many uncommitted changes to clean up.
Alternatively you can try installing a 1.6 copy of Subversion and seeing if you can diff your changes out and determine the correct versions. But I'm not sure what the state of the working copy databases will be during an interrupted upgrade. This might be the best way to go since I believe we're really careful about not botching things.
I try to check out the repo to a new computer but Smart SVN on mac os x claims that working copy format of ~/ProjectPath is too old '0'.I tried everththing that i found on the web.I upgraded svn to 1.7.6 and i also downloaded the lastest version of smart SVN but it really did not help.
svn upgrade says the following
svn: E155019: Can't upgrade '/Users/ilker/Desktop/CallingCard_v2.0' as it is not a pre-1.7 working copy directory
and svn cleanup says
svn: E200030: sqlite: no such table: wcroot
the only difference that i have on this machine is that i have mac os x 10.6.8 while other clients have at least 10.7.I think but it should not matter.
Did you try the svn checkout command to get a new working copy instead of trying to svn upgrade your current one ?
I have faced the slightly different situation that resulted in the same error.
I made checkout on a server that had almost 0% space free. The checkout downloaded the parent directory from SVN but not the content. When I freed disk space and made check out the issue was still there.
When I deleted the parent directory and made checkout again the issue disappeared.
So you may try deleting the checked out content and checkout again.
I just upgraded to AnkhSVN 2.3.10509.1073 and now if I try to commit via VS2010, I get the error:
Working copy
'C:\path\to\build' is too old
(format 10, created by Subversion 1.6)
Any idea how I can get this working?
I was previously using Ankh 2.1.10129. Thank you.
Ankh 2.3 use SVN 1.7 that has a new working copy format. You need to upgrade your working copy manually.
You need to run svn upgrade from a command line on your working copy or right click->'Upgrade Working Copy' in AnkhSVN
I have recently upgraded one of our systems from Code Igniter 1.7.2 to 2.0.1.
Do do this you are required to replaced the system directory with a newer version.
The old CI system was under version control, including the system directory.
When I go to commit I get
So I go to execute the cleanup command and I get
How can I fix this?
Backup the new system directory somewhere else (outside of the SVN working copy), revert the working copy to its old state (or even do a fresh checkout if needed), delete the system folder and commit, then copy the backed up system folder into the working copy, add it to SVN and commit again.
If you just deleted the system folder (without svn remove to let subversion know) and replaced it with some other content, you could first bring back the last committed version of it and then replace or update the content with svn.
Example: Backup and remove the current system folder, do a svn update in "tada", "system" comes back. Now either svn remove it to svn add and commit the newer files or copy the new ones over it and commit the changes.
