9 The problem is with your working copy, not with the repository.

11 Subversion 1.7 uses a new format for storing metadata in working copies
12 which is not compatible with the one used up to 1.6.
13
14 You can upgrade to the new format with
15
16 $ svn upgrade /var/lib/layman/<overlay name>

18 Be warned, though, that there is no way to convert back to the old
19 format -- if you decide to downgrade subversion later on you will need
20 to delete the overlay and check it out again.
