Subversion client is too old to work with working copy ubuntu linux

Likely you have tried to do an an svn command on your working copy and it’s giving you the following error:
svn: This client is too old to work with working copy ‘.'; please get a newer Subversion client
Initially I had thought it was a version miss-match with how the repo was checked in, or the server client the repo was hosted with. But it just so happened that I had checked it out with a newer version initially, and then moved it to another box that had a lower subversion client.
In any case, doing a fresh checkout (svn co) on my working copy solved this issue for me. But you may also update your subversion client.
