Except if you're working with the file:// protocol (and accessing an
NFS-mounted repository that's used from both machines (running
different svn versions) or something like that), which means the
client directly manipulates the repository. If that's the case ... you
shouldn't do that (only for testing / POC uses, and only if you use it
from a single machine). Use a real server (svnserve or
apache+mod_dav_svn), and you shouldn't have any interoperability
problems (client and server communicate via defined protocols which
are fully compatible accross versions).

But whatever the issue, the above is always important. People can't
help you unless you tell them in detail what happened. Don't start
assuming things too quickly ...
