Cancel everything. I obviously cannot expect newer version to run on
the older repository. Its just that when I, for example, open an older
project in Visual Studio, it offers to convert the project, or cancel
the operation. I do not expect VS to continue working with the older
format, yet I do expect it to warn me before ruining the file. This is
very similar - I do not want irreversible changes that might cause
problems for other applications.
By the way, sometimes, both working copies may be on the same machine
- the remote share scenario was just an example. For example, AnkhSVN
may use one workcopy, and I may want to keep a separate copy for
TortoiseSVN, both of which may be built against different SVN
versions.
Its the warning/ability to prevent any demage that I would like to
have :)
