eclipse svn "The working copy needs to be upgraded"

Question

I've just upgraded to Eclipse Luna on a laptop that I don't use much. I'm trying to get my projects in sync with my svn server (hosted), but am running into the "The working copy needs to be upgraded" message. I do not have a local svn client; I only use Subversive in Eclipse. I've upgraded all the plugins. What's next?

Some resources were not updated.
The working copy needs to be upgraded
svn: The working copy at '[my directory]'
is too old (format 10) to work with client version '1.8.10 (r1615264)' (expects format 31). You need to upgrade the working copy first.

I had a similar error because I copied a project folder from another PC (and it contained some .svn folders). I fixed the problem using http://stackoverflow.com/a/12399419/3885376 - I deleted all .svn folders and then add + commit worked. — ROMANIA_engineer, Jan 25 '16 at 16:09

Does this help? SVN upgrade working copy

With the command line client, you have to manually upgrade your working copy format by issuing the command svn upgrade

Or:

from eclipse, you can select on the project, right click->team->upgrade

Tried that, but what i see is a disabled "Upgrade Projects" menu item. – Gary Kephart Mar 29 '15 at 18:01
And I've made sure that everything is upgraded as well, though I'm not sure how to tell what version of the client I'm using. – Gary Kephart Mar 29 '15 at 18:04

Using TortoiseSVN perform a "cleanup" and check the "Break Locks" option. After this happened to me twice in the last year, I figured this out. Works perfectly.
