TortoiseSVN doesn't connect to repository

Question

I've been using cvs2svn to migrate one of my repositories to SVN.

When I open it with TortoiseSVN, it gives me an error:

Expected FS format between '1' and '3'; found format '4'

what does that mean?

thank you.

Answer 1

If you Google your exact error message, you get a number of good resources, first of all a previous Stack Overflow question.

Answer 2

My first suspicion is the version of svn used in csv2svn is newer than the version of svn in TortoiseSVN...
