Please update your Subversion client ... How?

Question

Today, I opened my eclipse, after I had previously been a great Subclipse, and decided to break myself spontaneously.

svn: E155021: The path 'xxx' appears to be part of a Subversion 1.7 or greater working copy. Please upgrade your Subversion client to use this working copy. 

I tried to completely remove all my subclinical packages in eclipse, and then reinstalled them, and this did not fix it. Here is the link to the installation I used:

Subclipse 1.8.x update site - http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.8.x

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

I disconnected my project from the repo and deleted all my svn metadata, then reconnected it and worked.

Answer 2

This sometimes happens to me when I copy from an existing versioned project to another versioned project. What you can try is “update / cleanup” or when copying from one project to another, go to the “navigator” and then delete any svn metadata. This data is usually located in .svn folders.

Answer 3

I am facing the same problem when I try to connect a previously disconnected project to an existing svn path.

I look close to it and find that I was trying to connect the project in the svn project subdirectory. Just point to the actual svn path and solve the problem!
