Format 5 is the FSFS format introduced with SVN 1.4, not 1.5. The
format numbers do not appear to track with the SVN release numbering
scheme. 1.4's working copy format is 8, FWIW.
You can access a format 5 repository with a 1.3 client if you have a
1.4 svnserve or Apache module, but not using file://.
