How could there be? We normally test current client against current servers.
Sometimes, when people do compatibility work, they run tests with
mixed server/client, but we don't have anything automatic for that.
OTOH, if you test a new client against an old server, then the regular
depth tests should fail if this code doesn't do what's intended.
I think it is a problem that we don't have automatic tests for our
client-server compatibility guarantees:( In this case, we could do with
some unittests for the update editor in libsvn_wc if someone has some
spare time...
