I'm not sure what you're asking here. The repository and working copy upgrades
are totally unrelated to each other. If you do happen to have a 1.5.x client
touch a 1.4.x working copy and it upgrades, you can always do a checkout with a
1.4.x client or back the 1.5.x working copy down with
http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#working-copy-format-change
Even if you have a 1.5.x repository and server, the 1.4.x client can checkout
and use it.

I am expecting there to be a working copy format bump in 1.6.
