Ah, I perhaps misunderstood. I figured the resolving of relative externals would be a problem with a Subversion 1.4.x client.
There's two different issues being confused here.
SVN 1.4 clients will work with SVN 1.5 repositories in general. However, that's not the real issue here. The issue is the new-style externals definitions that allow you to use "relative" paths. Those relative paths will not work for SVN 1.4 clients.
Okay, no objection to upgrading the server to 1.5 now. But requiring 1.5 as clients will need some more discussion. I take it there are two main reasons to do so: * relative URLs in externals * better merge tracking Regards, Martijn
