Re: What's the best and most common SVN Windows (Vista) Client

Yes, a simple hook script on the server side should do it.

But as stated, this is not an issue with the client per say - it's more that different pieces of software are compiled against different versions of the SVN library, and they are all client side. If someone uses and older client on a newer repository to work with it - even if they don't converse with the server using that client - then it will still cause the problem. People just need to make sure their tools are in sync with each other, and In know TSVN does releases when it changes library versions, sometimes that's the only difference to the previous release, though usually there are a few bug fixes in there as well.j

The SVN Devs were forward thinking enough to make future and past clients compatible, and be able to disable functionality appropriately. (e.g. future clients will disable functions not available on the server, and the server will speak with a client in its lingo instead of newer protocols if needed).

I believe someone posted a few months ago how to do it, but it's not
really needed except in special situations. Older clients will work
with newer servers (and vice versa), the newer features just won't
work.
