I don't get what you're saying. It's set to SVNKit 1.2.3. I know I had a problem when I tried to do a SVN update from the command line a while ago. When I refreshed in Eclipse it started giving me so many bizarre error dialogs that I concluded I had to recreate my workspace. It's possible this wasn't a version difference problem. Perhaps Subversive has trouble if you do anything with the .svn files outside of Eclipse. > You might also check preferences. SVNKit is capable of supporting > multiple formats.
