Hello,
I upgraded my SubversionEdge from 3.3.2 to 4.0.0
Then I upgraded Tortoise SVN from 1.7.13 to 1.8.0.
This concerns Windows win32 and x64 products.
When I try to work on my local working copy, I get an error "The working copy ... is too old (format 29) to work with client version 1.8.0 (r1490375) expects format 31. You need to upgrade the working copy first".
That is OK, but explorer's context menu does NOT show any Upgrade command (SVN Update, SVN Commit)
I downloaded command line Subversion tools to run the upgrade command, with success.
And now, on the upgraded working copy, I do not have SVN Update and Commit any more, but... SVN Upgrade working copy !
I wonder if the wc format version test could not have been inversed...
Thanks for your good work
Greetings
Chris

Type
$ svn --version
and check the output.

Best guess: you still have an old version of the command line tools in
your PATH.

Try a Reboot after upgrade.
I had the same issue after upgrade from 1.7.9 to 1.8.

Hello Stefan,
Thanks for the reply.

Here is the command's output
C:\>svn --version
svn, version 1.8.0 (r1490375)

I tried Geoff's suggestion, and it worked, so it is good to know :
A reboot is needed after Tortoise SVN 1.8 install, to make this misfunction disappear.
I didn't meet that kind of trouble with previous versions.

Thank you very much Geoff !
The bug disappears after a reboot.
I'll just have to precise this point to my users.
