I don't understand your comment.  You seem to be telling us to get  
the new svn client (1.4) because it is much better than the old  
client, but then telling us we shouldn't because the new client will  
make your playpen not work with the old client.  But, if I have the  
new client, why would I need the old client to work?

Oh, svn sage, please make clear your wisdom!
