The path x appears to be part of a Subversion 1.7 or greater ....

I get an error trying to open a project in TAC:

Hi,
Is it OK with you when you update the SVNkit(change SVN client into 1.8)?
Best regards

How is SVN Kit updated?  I tried updating Tortoise,  but that did not suffice.

Finally got things working.   Not sure what the magic bit was:
1: A working server had SVN 1.8,  which in theory is not supported, but it working.
2: Downgraded SVN on failing server to 1.7, then 1.6.  Lot of dependencies I had to resolve to do that.
3: Deleted the workspace on my PC,  recreated a project in TAC on failing server, and things started working.
Sooo,  I believe that it is not really the subversion version that causes the problem, but rather the version of subversion that created the repository.  I am guessing if the repo was created with a supported version and then upgraded, it will still work.

Hi,
The root cause maybe the project you are using(  remote - workspace pointed to svn location).
When you delete the workspace and create a new workspace, it can connect to remote svn location . After that, import the project which was created already,  it will automatically check in the code into svn repository.
Thanks for sharing your solution with us.
Best regards
Sabrina
