Description Martin Jansa 2012-05-03 14:58:26 UTC 
subversion-1.7 changed format of checkout and old checkouts need to be explicitly upgraded to new layout.

bitbake fetcher should detect it and call svn upgrade if needed.

We have subversion(-native)-1.7 in oe-core for a while:
http://www.mail-archive.com/openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org/msg10762.html

So once fetcher is improved it's easy to change default version (and remove subversion-native from ASSUME_PROVIDED) so that users even with distribution which ships only subversion-1.6 or even 1.5 can use tarballed svn checkouts from distribution premirror.

To be more clear about supported combinations of versions are
premirror 1.6 -> current fetcher  -> distro 1.6
premirror 1.6 -> improved fetcher -> distro 1.7

premirror 1.7 (with all tarballs recreated with 1.7) -> current or improved fetcher -> subversion-native removed in ASSUME_PROVIDED

premirror 1.7 (with mixed tarballs) -> improved fetcher -> subversion-native removed in ASSUME_PROVIDED

Patches on ML look good, tested on my setup where I had premirror with 1.7 and all tarballs recreated and on builder using 1.7 (forced by distro config + removed from ASSUME_PROVIDED). 

So the test here was mostly that there is no change for me with those patches and nothing broke.
