I get this error when trying to query mergeinfo.

$ svn mergeinfo --show-revs eligible  https://svn.hq.corp/trunk  https://svn.hq.corp/branches/RC-1

svn: Querying mergeinfo requires version 3 of the FSFS filesystem schema; filesystem '/mnt/svn/co/db' uses only version 1

I could not find any information on how to upgrade FSFS from version 1 to version 3

What i wanted to accomplish, was to trace revisions across branches

You can upgrade your repository to the latest schema version with this:

    svnadmin upgrade /mnt/svn/co

After you also have upgraded the Subversion package.
