The title may be a little misleading but I was having a problem with my SVN scripts using 1.4 libraries and my Subclipse version supporting Subversion 1.6. Looks like I’m not the only one with these problems, however I did find a quick and simple fix which works surprisingly well.
In your Eclipse.ini file add ‘-Dsvnkit.upgradeWC=false’ which sets a Java property to stop SVNKit upgrading your working copy. If you are using JavaHL be sure to change to SVNKit in the Select the ‘Window > Preferences > Team > SVN’ property page. Be sure to set the ‘SVN interface’to ‘SVNKit (Pure Java) SVNKit v1.2.2.5405′.
If you’ve done all that it will work perfectly as soon as you hit ok, note because this is a Java property it will work with anything that uses the SVNKit library.
