Hmm.....
How is the repository being served? If you're serving with the
file:/// protocol then all clients will need to be updated, since in
this setup the client is the server (though I would have expected a
better error message, one that didn't refer to the working copy but
to the repository). But if you're serving with another protocol and
thereby running an actual Subversion server, I don't see how you
could be getting that message unless you were sharing the working copy.
