I don't get what you're saying. It's set to SVNKit 1.2.3. I know I had
a problem when I tried to do a SVN update from the command line a while
ago. When I refreshed in Eclipse it started giving me so many bizarre
error dialogs that I concluded I had to recreate my workspace. It's
possible this wasn't a version difference problem. Perhaps Subversive
has trouble if you do anything with the .svn files outside of Eclipse.

I see no setting in the SVN preferences that says anything like this.

Ok.
