change-svn-wc-format

Hi,

I'm using TortoiseSVN 1.6 (just upgraded) and Subversion
1.6 (via svnserve -i).

If the local WC is downgraded from, say 1.6 to 1.5, the
repository is still in the 1.6 state. Does this mean
I need to also downgrade the repository as well or have
I misunderstood the whole point of this script?

I managed to patch the change-svn-wc-format.py file
to create the format file within the .svn folder;
but, since I'm not entirely sure of this, is this
'format' file supposed to be elsewhere other than
.svn/? i.e. should it also be in .svn/text-base?
(I don't even know if I should categorize this
as a rhetorical question since I can't see any
format files in my 1.5 WC for my own project
files.) I set up a new 1.6 repository using
svnserve as the server to test it out. This
repository itself has a format file with a
5 in it. (Confusing me a bit here)

After running the new patched change-svn-wc-format.py,
and then updating the WC, the format file
is removed. I'm assuming this is right since
the repository is still in 1.6.

Any clarifications appreciated.

Thanks

Edmund

PS: FWIW, I'll post a diff. Please note the following:
   1) I only just started doing Python for a few days.
   2) I need major guidance in this whole peer review.
      I've never submitted a patch before so I don't
      know what to expect.
