We seem to have lost the nice "WC is too old ... please see 'svn upgrade'" in one place: 'svn cleanup'.

You need to upgrade the working copy first. Thoughts? I'll file a low-priority bug if nobody has a better idea. - Julian -- Certified & Supported Apache Subversion Downloads: http://www.wandisco.com/subversion/download
