I have just upgraded to TortoiseSVN 1.6.99, Build 21709, (Subversion 1.7.0, -dev). I am having problem in my Eclipse Subversive 0.7.9.I20100512-1900 & JavaHL 1.6.15. Have tried to update my Eclipse plugins. Anyone have an solution?

Error at Eclipse:

Share project was failed. Unsupported working copy format svn: The path 'XXX' appears to be part of a Subversion 1.7 or greater working copy. Please upgrade your Subversion client to use this working copy.

What is the current status now? tortoisesvn prompted me to upgrade, saying there is a new version available. I upgraded, and now subclipse is not working. – Flareup 19/10, 2011 at 9:52

@Charbel, try to upgrade your subclipse or try its beta/dev version. If it can't work (which mean it does not recognize new svn format), you may need to consider to downgrade like my case. – Engobe 19/10, 2011 at 10:5

The latest version of Subclipse claims to be able to handle svn 1.7 – Alonzo 20/10, 2011 at 8:52

I'm not sure how to downgrade the working copy, the scripts provided on SVN website are for versions prior to 1.7. Also I prefer upgrading the subclipse (and the cygwin clients) but I can't seem to do it. Subclipse i seem to be running the latest version. For cygwin, i seem to have upgraded to the 1.7 version in Setup, but when I run svn --version it prints 1.6, and in both cases they complain about incompatible working copy... help! – Flareup 20/10, 2011 at 13:47

You are aware of the Subversion 1.7 state? It is currently a beta-2 state and not intended for production? Furthermore it couldn't work with the working copy, cause the working copy format of 1.7 has changed and it will not upgrade your working copy automatically. If you like to use 1.7-beta-2 you have to use the JavaHL version of Subversion 1.7-beta-2 instead of 1.6.X. The above mentioned is also true for TortoiseSVN, cause the version you mentioned is a BETA! (as explained on the TortoiseSVN site.

My TortoiseSVN prompted me to upgrade. Not sure why it installed beta version for me. I do not see JavaHL support 1.7. Do you have the link? – Engobe 27/7, 2011 at 6:43

no sorry. As far as i know the 1.7 is not available onyl via source code from SVN directly..May be via one of the the update-sites in eclipse? – Hypothermal 27/7, 2011 at 6:53

I tried both community.polarion.com/projects/subversive/download/eclipse/2.0/… and community.polarion.com/projects/subversive/download/eclipse/2.0/…. The maximum I can get is 1.6.15. So no luck, maybe I should downgrade my SVN. :( – Engobe 27/7, 2011 at 6:57

Definitely you should downgrade. – Hypothermal 27/7, 2011 at 7:0

Normally I will go to tortoisesvn.net, then click download page to download latest client. But today when TortoiseSVN prompted me to upgrade, that home page has provided link to download, but is actually beta. :( – Engobe 27/7, 2011 at 7:9

As of October 19, TortoiseSVN 1.7 full has been released but still no update for Eclipse Subversive. Pretty annoying. – Lowly 19/10, 2011 at 4:59

I was tricked into upgrading Tortoise as well as my eclipse project's working copy. And there doesn't appear to be a way to downgrade working copies from 1.7 to 1.6. – Benioff 12/1, 2012 at 10:2

SVNKit 1.7 has been out since early this month, and can be installed via Eclipse. I've outlined the steps in my answer. – Habitue 17/4, 2012 at 8:39

Bear in mind that Subversive doesn't communicate with your working copy directly; it is only an interface for Eclipse. The communication runs through an SVN connector such as SVNKit or JavaHL. This is the software you should update to resolve your problem.

In my case I'm using SVNKit, which can be updated like so:

Make sure Eclipse's update sites are pointing to Polarion's recommendations. Here's what my update sites look like:
You'll need the latest version of Subversive SVN Connectors, so make sure the Subversive update site is enabled and let Eclipse check for updates through Help, Check for updates.
- Check Eclipse's Installation Details to confirm that you've got Subversive SVN Connectors version 2.3.0.I20120413-1700 or later. To do so, go to Help, About, then click "Installation details".
- If you haven't gotten a new version, you might need to uninstall the old one, and grab the new one from the Subversive update site.
Now you may update SVNKit. Select Help, Install new software to bring up the software installation window.
Select the latest SVNKit (as of this writing, 1.7.4) and install it.
Restart Eclipse.

If Subversive is using the wrong connector after restarting Eclipse, select the right newest one from the preferences screen (under Preferences, select Team, SVN then click the tab "SVN Connectors").

Using Indigo I could not get this to work. The solution for me was to uninstall all svn-like modules and then reinstall subversive from the Marketplace. – Ligurian 22/5, 2012 at 9:21

SVN Kit 1.7.* has been available in the release channel for some time now, so you should just be able to grab it from the SVN Connector dialog. Checking for updates should work, but if not, uninstall Subversive and install the release version from Eclipse Indigo or Juno's built-in update site under "Collaboration". – Habitue 1/7, 2012 at 21:16

Very nice, this fixed my Aptana Studio 3 (build 3.2.2.x) – Presumption 28/10, 2012 at 22:29

Hi, My Eclipse already has all the latest versions for Subversive and the SVNKit as well, even than it is giving this message. What else to look for ? Thanks – Someday 2/1, 2013 at 21:1

This is now solved with Subclipse 1.8 versions.

Possibly. The question was explicitly about Subversive though, not Subclipse. – Camisado 12/12, 2011 at 14:41

This is about SVN or Tortoise Eclipse, no need for Subclipse to be mentioned here. – Someday 2/1, 2013 at 21:3

Proper selection of subclipse & SVN connector will solve the problem.

I am using ecplise indigo and Tortoise SVN 1.8 The installation of Subclipse 1.10.5 & Subversion JavaHL Native Library Adapter 1.8.10 solved the problem.

Under Window->Preferences->Team->SVN, SVN Connector tab, set the svn connector to the latest SVN kit, SVNKit 1.8.0:

I gone through same issue. I tried all these. Nothing worked. Reason is, I am trying it on Ubuntu (Linux). All these solutions are for windows I guess.

I know this is very old question, but in case it can help others.

I did this.

In stall JavaHL (sudo apt-get install libsvn-java)
After installing search for libsvnjavahl-1.so file using following command
sudo find / -name libsvnjavahl-1.so
Open eclipse.ini file (We can find in eclipse home folder) and edit. I use STS so sts.ini for me.
Add following:
-vmargs -Djava.library.path=/path/of/libsvn/jni

Example:
-vmargs -Djava.library.path=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/jni/

This same methodology can be applied to windows also.

Very old question but I found one of the problems related with the "Please upgrade your Subversion client to use this working copy." error.

The solution is to delete the .svn files metadata (on Windows you need to see 'hidden folders').

I had a .svn file in my root directory C:\ so all the subfolders ultimately would be related to that file. You need to go up from your working directory and check if there are any .svn files that may enter in conflict with your current project.

I just deleted my .svn file in C:\ and there were no more conflicts.
