The only time when the latter is true is if you are accessing the
repository via the file:/// protocol. In that situation, the client is
also acting as the server, so you can't use a 1.4 client with the
repository after you've used a 1.6 client.

As long as all of the clients which touch a given working copy match
major.minor versions, you will not have trouble. Some features
introduced with 1.5 & 1.6 (merge tracking for one) will be disabled
when talking to a 1.4 server.
