what about devel/subversion17? ;-) Why I _must_ update my svn client to 1.8.x ?
I can do svn checkout/update/etc with 1.7 installed, BUT I also want to
see svn revision when I run uname -a. We are talking about that some
time ago on efnet.  newvers.sh should check exit code.

[tiger at laptop]:~/vcs/sysadm%svnversion
svn: E155036: The working copy at '/usr/home/tiger/vcs/sysadm'
is too old (format 29) to work with client version '1.8.1
(r1503906)' (expects format 31). You need to upgrade the working copy
first.
