RE: Different client and server versions OK?

Eric,

My understanding is that you can use older versions with newer clients. I believe there is a cut off and that's documented somewhere in the docs. I'm also under the impression that mixing versions of the client is fine as long as you don't use a direct file system connection, in other words if you use the svn or http protocol you should be okay.

Subject: Different client and server versions OK?

The Subversion version running on my server I fairly old, somewhere in the 1.4 branch, I think. The server is not under my control, so I don't get to say when it's upgraded to a more recent version.

Do I have to keep the version of the Subversion client I'm running on my local machine in line with the server version, or is it OK to upgrade that separately? I do realize that once a working copy is touched by a newer version, it can't be used by an older version of Subversion, but that's a bit different.
