Re: Rearranging archive

I have had trouble in the past using Tortoise on the server then
accessing the repository over the internet. There seems to be a lot of
dependency on versions. I currently am using 1.4.4 with Apache 2.2.4.
When the person who initially loaded the archive did it he was using
Tortoise with a network mounted drive and we found that the file format
value (in the format file) was not compatible with the server setup.
Currently, format contains a 5. Can I use the latest Tortoise or do I
need to load an older one?

BTW, thanks for your patience. This is my first attempt at setting up
and administering subversion and I realize some (if not all) questions
are basic. I have looked over the documentation but because the
repository was not set up according to the recommended structure, things
don't seem to work as they I expect.
