Documented in the help text of 'checkout' and 'upgrade', in r1898527, like this for 'upgrade' and similar for 'checkout': [[[ By default Subversion will upgrade the working copy to a version compatible with Subversion 1.8 and newer. To upgrade to a different version, use an option such as '--compatible-version=1.15'. The versions available are the same as in the 'checkout' command. Use 'svn --version' to see the compatible versions supported. ]]] - Julian
