UBUNTU SVN CLIENT UPDATE

If your current working copy format is 1.6, after updating to IntelliJ 2018.1 you will need to upgrade the working copy to a higher version, using the Upgrade action on the Subversion Working Copies tab. Working with 1.6 and 1.7 was possible without using command-line svn client, via built-in SVNKit. Previous versions of IntelliJ IDEs supported Subversion copy formats 1.6 (and earlier), 1.7 and 1.8.

SVN 1.6 is no longer supported by Apache Foundation, and the corresponding working copy format usage has also significantly decrease.

SVNKit is used automatically when no command line client is installed, so a user could be forced to check out in an older format when checking out via the IntelliJ platform.

SVNKit is a third-party library and we cannot resolve some outstanding issues it has.

There are several reasons for SVNKit removal, including the following: In 2018.1 the SVNKit library has been removed from the IntelliJ platform, resulting in the above changes.

If for some reasons you still need to use the 1.6 working copy format and cannot update it, please comment on the request.

Note that Subversion allows using higher working copy formats with an older server, so even if you have 1.6 svn server, you could use 1.7 or 1.8 working copy. Subversion working copies 1.6 and earlier are no longer supported, and it is now required to use a command-line svn client for integration with Subversion.
