Upgrade SVN client in older ubuntu versions

Ubuntu LTS version[12.04] doesn't have svn client 1.7 installed. If you tried to use a newer svn local repository with default version, you get an error:



This is the fix:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:dominik-stadler/subversion-1.7

If you already have subversion previous intalled, remove it

sudo apt-get remove subversion

sudo apt-get update

Now, reinstalling subversion will fix your issue. But it may required to download some files [about 4 MB] from subversion site.

sudo apt-get install subversion
