On a windows 2008 server, a svn repository has been created using tortoisesvn from a remote Windows 7 machine. We would like to load the repository into VisualSVN, ref https://www.visualsvn.com/support/topic/00010/. After setting the file location and the new repository location, and clicking the import button, there is an error similar to the following message (written from memory).
error: Expected fs format between '1' and '4'; found format '6'
What should be done to resolve this error? I had read previous posts suggesting the issue was the svn version. Is it possible to save the repository in an older format? A command window was opened, but the commands svn and svnadmin were not recognized. On the bottom right of the VisualSVN server splash window, there is a link to show the version. The svn version was 1.6xxx.
