I have seen articles that state that TortoiseSVN 1.8 is backwards compatible with earlier versions (pre 1.8) of subversion 1.8.
When using remote access (svnserve, Apache) for a repository, all 1.x
clients are compatible with all 1.x servers. When mixing minor
versions, some features may be disabled because one end or the other
doesn't support them. There have been some glitches with the change in
HTTP library with 1.8 but "I cannot access my repository" is not
enough information to say if that's what's happening to you.
I would not recommend mixing client versions when accessing via the
file:/// scheme - it *may* work, but there may be some oddities. You
shouldn't be using this scheme anyway except for a single-user
scenario with the repository stored locally.
Working copies can only be accessed by multiple client versions if
those clients have matching minor numbers - a working copy that needs
to be accessed by a 1.6 client can only be accessed by other 1.6
clients, for example.
