If it was using SVNKit 1.2.3 then you would not be having a problem.
You have to be using the JavaSvn connector that only supports 1.4.
They still provide it because they paid to have some custom behaviors
added around merge and a couple other places that they wanted. But
these customizations were not maintained going forward.

You might also check preferences. SVNKit is capable of supporting
multiple formats. So SVNKit 1.2.3 can support the 1.4 and 1.5
formats. You may have a setting somewhere telling it to use the 1.4
format.

No, the format will just be upgraded to the latest format. No need to
checkout again and the upgrade is relatively quick. The only issue is
that earlier clients will not be able to read it any more. If you
upgrade them all to 1.6.x this will not be an issue.
