Thanks for this reply. I apologize for my delayed response -- your
message got filtered into the wrong mailbox.
Maybe I'm not asking the right question. My issue is that I work
with many different subversion repositories. They are all hosted by
different organizations and are presumably different versions. For
those repositories that are subversion 1.5, I would very much like to
use the new merge tracking features. For those that are <1.5, I will
obviously not be able to. This difference in supported features
affects how I work with each repository, so I would like some way to
know the supported feature set of each repository I connect to.
Is there any command that I can run to determine this?
The "svn info" command gives a bunch of information including things
such as GUID, but nothing obvious that might give me a clue as to
the supported feature set (version #, etc.). If I access subversion
through a web browser I get the following text response:
( success ( 1 2 ( ANONYMOUS ) ( edit-pipeline svndiff1 absent-
entries ) ) )
I don't know how to interpret that.
It seems that what I'm asking should be possible, but maybe it isn't?
