Subversion version skew
Using a 1.5 client with a 1.4 server creates problems if you have other machines still running the 1.4 client.
If you upgraded your local copy of the svn client, but the server did not get upgraded, and you’re running ubuntu:

1. Uninstall subversion and libsvn using synaptic
2. Go here here and pick the version of your server/other clients
3. Download both subversion and libsvn in the desired version
4. run sudo dpkg -i on both libsvn and subversion
5. Open synaptic, search for subversion
6. Select the (now old) version of subversion
7. Open the packages menu and select “lock package”
8. Do the same for libsvn

This will mean that your client won’t be upgraded automatically, but should work with your server.

Only a day late this year! That’s an order of magnitude better than last year, if you’ll recall. By next year I might just be on time.

So happy birthday my dear. I’m looking forward to many more with you.
