I'm using TortoiseSVN 1.6.8, and suspect I may be having a version incompatibility with my server.

How can I discover the version of SVN running on the server?

Preferably from Tortoise, but failing that, from the SVN command line.

Assuming that your SVN repository is getting accessed as an HTTP URL, say http://www.server.com/mysvnrepos/, you should be able to access the URL from your web browser.

From Windows Explorer, try File -> TortoiseSVN -> Repo Browser. Copy the URL of the repository and paste into your browser. It may return a source revision list, along with a footer at the bottom of the web page that reads "Powered by Subversion x.x.x."

    For VisualServerSVN, view in browser as suggested, then right click and view the HTML source. You will see xml, the root element includes the version as an attribute e.g. `` – Adam Jul 07 '14 at 22:54

  • Thanks for the link - don't know why I missed it when I searched. Highest voted answer is the same as Shan's, but Shan's explanation is better, IMO. – Tom Bushell May 04 '11 at 18:07
