One of the most annoying things in the upgrade from 1.6 to 1.7 was that certain conditions prevented a successful update, and which could not be solved without an 1.6 client. Most of those were fixed as bugs, (like lock tokens in the local wc), but a major one remained: working copies needing a "cleanup". >From an users perspective, it is a very annoying experience when he upgrades >his SVN client(s), and then some days later stumbles across a working copy >which he cannot upgrade without downgrading one of his clients. As the 1.7 and 1.8 working copy format changes are only "minor" ones from an architectural view, do you think the upgrade could handle this case better this time?
