Copy Working Folder Between 2 PC Issue

[Tim Sowden]

I have a Win 10 machine that's going obsolete. On it I have many projects checked out. I manually copied all these to my new Win 11 machine.

On both machines I have build 1.14.9 Build 29743, Subversion 1.14.5.

On my Win 10 machine I can go to any project, even VERY old ones (10 years plus) that are way out of date with the latest SVN / Tortoise and use Tortoise to check for mods, update etc. It all just works I presume because the SVN server(s) where all these reside are also up to date so Tortoise ignores things like the old SVNClient folders and does everything via the Tortoise client.

On my Win 11 machine I can't do this for almost all my projects (only a few new ones created in the last few months work). I get a 'working copy is too old to work with client 1.14.5. You need to upgrade the working copy' error.

I can view the Repo browsers and log histories just fine from both machines. I don't see any SVN Upgrade option in Tortoise.

Anyone know why on my new Win 11 machine all the older projects are somehow not working with my newly installed Tortoise and how I can fix this?

I believe the "Upgrade working copy" option is not enabled by default in the Windows 11 context menu. If you select "Show more options", do you see it in the old context menu and does it help do upgrade the working copy there?

Cheers,

Hi Daniel,

I've got the 'show more options' enabled by default in Win 11. I do not see an 'Upgrade working copy' option. I don't see one on my Win 10 machine either. It seems like this option has disappeared from Tortoise. 

Will I have to install older versions of Tortoise to get things to work (and then re-install the latest) or do you think copying over the AppSettings for Tortoise along with the Tortoise folder from my Win 10 machine might work?

I think I've solved it.

The top most level directory doesn't seem to have the Upgrade Working copy option but sub directories do and although it's a pain I was able to navigate down into them all and do the Upgrade Working copy from there.

where are your working copies located?

If they lie within the Onedrive hierarchy, that might be the problem
