Interestingly, I've had 1.4 servers tell me I shouldn't have upgraded my
client to 1.5, which is a little tedious = particularly as the
information comes in the form of a hard-to-decipher error message and a
refusal to work. So much for backward compatibility.

Fortunately I still had the SVN 1.4 client on the Ubuntu machine that
was hosting the Samba shares, so I could use ssh and the command line to
maintain things.
