Just so we're clear here, I have these projects checked out in Eclipse,
but not in the same directory that I'm trying to do the command-line
checkout. I'm trying to do a separate checkout of these projects, just
using the 1.6.15 client. I'm not using multiple client versions in the
same checked-out directory, but I am attempting to checkout a module
from SVN with the 1.6.15 client that has been previously checked out
with different client versions.
Is the conflict in mixing client versions relevant to the module in the
server, or in the client-side directory? If it's the latter, then there
should be no conflict, as I'm only using the 1.6.15 client in this
directory.
