I have just upgraded to SVN 1.7.1 and I have had nothing but problems trying to get my netbeans and everything else to work with it. I have tried 'svn upgrade' but I get an error which is as follows:

C:\wamp\Projects>svn upgrade BMPortal

svn: E155019: Can't upgrade 'C:\wamp\Projects\BMPortal' as it is not a pre-1.7 working copy directory svn: E150000: Missing default entry

Could anyone suggest a way to fix this. The reason why I am trying to upgrade is because my netbeans says:

The Path 'C:\wamp\Projects\BMPortal' appears to be part of a Subversion 1.7 or greater working copy. Please upgrade your Subversion client to use this working copy.

As I have upgraded my SVN Client to 1.7, I don't know why it is still moaning at me.

Just FYI:

The SVN Server is on an Arch Linux box running UberSVN. The client (my computer) is Windows 7 64bit.

I actually had the very same problem (or at least the same error message!). After trying everything you have said earlier and not getting any results, I realise that I had copied some files to the project that contains svn files from an older (1.6) version. I delete the 1.6 folders and the everything worked fine again.

I hope this could help some other people too!

Best regards, Andrés
