[cse491] "This client is too old..."

Hey all,

Josh Berger helped me solve an enduring mystery -- why is it that some
of you are getting "this client is too old to work with working copy..."
when you're using svn?

Turns out adriatic has a newer version of svn than arctic, so if you use
adriatic to do anything with svn, it will upgrade your working copy to
be incompatible with arctic.

One solution is simply to run all your svn commands on adriatic.

The other is to run none of your svn commands on adriatic and keep them
all on arctic.

cheers,
