Actually, he didn't specify. He asked: "How do I go about finding out what version of subversion (e.g. 1.6.#) is on the server." The answer is to go to the server and ask it. If you run "svn --version" on the server, it will tell you what version of the Subversion client is installed on the server. If you run "svnserve --version" on the server, it will tell you what version of svnserve is installed on the server. If your reply is that you don't have access to the server to run these commands, then you'll have to talk to someone who does have access to the server and have them run those commands for you. If you want to know what version of mod_dav_svn is installed on the server, that can actually be determined from the client, by accessing the repository's http or https URL in a web browser. (In fact, I'm not sure how to find out the version of mod_dav_svn from the server.)
