I was using VisualSVN client and server on local machine + MS Visual Studio for a while.

Today I decided to upgrade tortoisesvn to the latest version (because it popups every time that never version is available).

After that I can not commit/browse history etc. from VS. tortoisesvn reports such error:

Working copy "C:\pathtorepository" is too old (format 10, created by Subversion 1.6).

How to fix my problem? Should I rollback tortoisesvn from 1.7 to 1.6?

Use svn upgrade ( added in 1.7) to upgrade your working copy.

Or Right click on the folder in Explorer -> Choose SVN Upgrade working copy

You will also have to update VisualSVN to 2.5.1 - http://www.visualsvn.com/visualsvn/changes/
