Subversion with 32 bit server and 32/64 bit clients

Question

Good morning; my google-fu seems to be lacking today.

I've just been upgraded to a Vista64 machine, and we only now have a 32 bit subversion server.

I assume there is no problem using 64bit tortoisesvn with the 32 bit server ?

Thanks. Max.

(Edit) Thank you all.

Another similar question you may ask yourself: Can I use a 64bit web browser (let's say IE7) with a 32bit web server? — Milen A. Radev, Mar 12 '09 at 12:32

There won't be a problem, they are basically independent since the protocol between them has done by another channel.

Also I've got he same setup and it works just fine.

Correct, the architecture of server or client don't matter. SVN would have to be severly broken for it to matter, even.

Similar situation to you, using a Vista x64 on development workstations and 2003 x32 for the reposetory server. Tortoise SVN x64 works fine.
