All svn clients version 1.x can access any svn server version 1.x.
But: some new features of newer clients also require newer server
versions. If the server does not support a more recent feature, some
operations will take longer or won't work. In that case clients behave
as if they're an older version.
For example, if the server does not support merge tracking yet, clients
don't have that information and won't show it or won't use it. In that
case merges are done without that information and you'll have to
remember what you've merged yourself, just as if you're using an older
client.
