Cancel the upgrade, or cancel the operation altogether?

This (the upgrade of the WC) really is the domain of the SVN
libraries, not TSVN itself. I don't know that SVN allows for a newer
client to use an older format; usually there's a reason for updating
the format which is required by the client for proper operation.

Or, stop doing the updates remotely, and instead only do them from the
machine local to that WC.
