Yes of course. I thought that was clear, sorry. A Subversion client only
updates the working copy format if you actually *use* it on a working
copy where the working copy would get changed anyway (but those are most
commands).

Yes, TSVN doesn't use svn.exe at all.
But you could install the Subversion binaries version 1.5.0-beta1 and
then have your netbeans IDE use those instead:

Such a warning is not really possible. Because TSVN doesn't know
beforehand if a command would update the format or not - it depends on
the command parameters and the server/repository.
