Do you want to install both together? – Grijesh Chauhan Nov 16 '12 at 19:19

Yes, I wish to use 1.7 with say RabbitCVS, and 1.6 with NetBeans. – banzsh Nov 16 '12 at 19:21

Yes you can install! install and remane exes/ or install in diffrent directory .. – Grijesh Chauhan Nov 16 '12 at 19:24

If so, which will be associated with `CLI: svn` – banzsh Nov 16 '12 at 19:26

You have to create a softlink for which and as you desired. ..I think no other choice...I do it to keep diffrent versions of python – Grijesh Chauhan Nov 16 '12 at 19:28

1Can you elaborate a bit on what is the motivation for having the two versions installed? – Pedro Romano Nov 16 '12 at 19:32

You know about the backwards compatibility issues. Some old projects should remain in 1.6 repos. – banzsh Nov 16 '12 at 19:36

2You can use any Java-based SVN client (e.g. Netbeans), the most of them use SVNKit internally, and SVNKit transparently supports both working copy formats. – Dmitry Pavlenko Nov 16 '12 at 20:31

4You can still upgrade all your working copies to 1.7 and interact with 1.6 repositories. See [Compatibility Concerns](https://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.7.html#compatibility) section in the Subversion 1.7 release notes. I would simply standardise on 1.7 for the client and all working copies. – Pedro Romano Nov 16 '12 at 21:12

As @Pedro Romano says, svn 1.7 client is fully compatible with svn 1.6 server. See svn 1.7 compatibility
You only need to do
$ svn updgrade working_dir1 working_dir2 ...
And work as always, the upgrade preserve local modifications. See svn help upgrade
