Jack,
On IRC, I saw that you wrote:
jackr: is there supposed to be no more .svn/format? because I'm in
this weird loop: svn cleanup fails "can't remove
blah/blah/.svn/format: no such file or directory" touch
blah/blah/.svn/format; svn cleanup; "can't remove
some/other/.svn/format".......
And there is a relatively easy answer to that, contained in STATUS,
slated for fixing in 1.6.1:
* r36302
Fix a small problem in the loggy upgrade process. Some v10 working copies
have .svn/format, and some don't. The *intent* is to remove the file if
present, so make the code match.
Justification:
If change-svn-wc-format.py is used to downgrade a working copy
from 1.6 to 1.5 format, the script does not add the format file,
rendering 1.6 clients unable to update the working copy again:
"svn: Can't remove file '.svn/format': No such file or directory"
Since the presence of that file has been deprecated for ages,
let's just apply this easy fix to 1.6 instead of tweaking the script.
Votes:

I'm guessing you bounced back and forth between 1.6 and 1.5 on that
working copy?
Cheers,
-g
