I've just upgraded to Eclipse Luna on a laptop that I don't use much. I'm trying to get my projects in sync with my svn server (hosted), but am running into the "The working copy needs to be upgraded" message. I do not have a local svn client; I only use Subversive in Eclipse. I've upgraded all the plugins. What's next?

Some resources were not updated.
The working copy needs to be upgraded
svn: The working copy at '[my directory]'
is too old (format 10) to work with client version '1.8.10 (r1615264)' (expects format 31). You need to upgrade the working copy first.

Does this help? SVN upgrade working copy

With the command line client, you have to manually upgrade your working copy format by issuing the command svn upgrade

Or:

from eclipse, you can select on the project, right click->team->upgrade
