It does not matter what version of Subversion you have installed on the
client in this case. Hudson uses SVNKit as its SVN client, not the
Subversion client you have installed on your computer. The latest
version of Hudson (1.262) uses SVNKit 1.2.0, which implements a client
compatible with SVN 1.5 and which advertises itself as "SVN/1.5.2
SVNKit/1.2.0".
