v1.8.0 32 bit / 64 bit compatibility

Using the recent v1.8.0 release, I have a problem with compatibility between the 32 bit and 64 bit versions. The problem can be duplicated by:

1) Use a real 64 bit machine and a 32 bit virtual machine.

2) From the 64 bit machine, checkout a working copy of some repository to a folder accessible from both machines. The .svn directory will not contain an "entries" or "format" file.

3) From the 32 bit machine, right-click the top-level folder of the working copy. TortoiseSVN will want to upgrade the working copy to the new format. Say yes and the operation will fail because the .svn\entries file is missing.

4) From the 32 bit machine, checkout a working copy of some repository to a folder accessible from both machines. The files .svn\entries and .svn\format will exist.

5) From the 64 bit machine, right-click the top-level folder of the working copy. TortoiseSVN will want to upgrade the working copy to the new format. Say yes and the operation will succeed. But the .svn\entries and .svn\format files will be deleted and the working copy will no longer be accessible from the 32 bit machine. If you manually create the "entries" and "format" files, the working copy will become accessible from the 32 bit machine.
