How do I manually set the version of new Subversion workspaces?

You can manually set the version of any new Subversion workspaces created by Bamboo on checkout. For example, if you use a pre-1.5 Subversion client to access code checked out by Bamboo (see this FAQ), you will need to force any new Subversion workspaces to be created with a version of 1.4.

To manually set the version of any new Subversion workspaces created by Bamboo, configure the following system parameter:
bamboo.svn.wc.format

Valid values for this parameter are 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6.

Please note, setting this parameter will only affect any Subversion workspaces created after the parameter has been set. It will not change the version of any Subversion workspaces that have already been created.

To change this parameter for your Bamboo instance, you can follow either one of the methods below:

• Add the parameter with a '-D' prefix and appropriate value, in your command line when starting Bamboo. e.g. -Dbamboo.svn.wc.format=1.4, or
• Add the parameter as a property in your <bamboo-home>/bamboo.cfg.xml file.
  e.g. <property name="bamboo.svn.wc.format">1.4</property>
