The TSVN download page explains, very clearly, the ramifications of
running the 1.4 release candidate:
"Using TortoiseSVN 1.4.0-rc1 on any working copy created by previous
versions of Subversion/TSVN will TRANSPARENTLY upgrade your working
copy, which means that production-ready versions of Subversion/TSVN
(1.3.x and earlier) will no longer be able to read it! Please be
careful, if you use other Subversion clients (eg. the 1.3.x command
line client), not to use the TortoiseSVN 1.4.x release candidate on a
production working copy."
The Release Notes also indicate this:
"Subversion 1.4 uses a new format for the working copy. The update is
done automatically, you won't even notice it. But once the working
copy has been updated, you won't be able to access it with clients
linked to older versions of the Subversion library."
The download page also indicates that the "current" version is 1.3.5.
