Perplexed version of Subversion client

Possible duplicate:
SVN / Subversion 1.7 and Eclipse Subversive and JavaHL

I am using Subversion with version 1.6.5 on the server. I use Subclipse (version 1.6) in STS as a client for certain tasks, but more often I use the subversion 1.7.0 command line client.

Why 1.7 for the command line client? There is no good reason.

So, I made a branch with the command line client, and now when I try to use Subclipse for "Update to HEAD", it tells me:

org.tigris.subversion.javahl.ClientException: Unsupported working copy format

svn: The path 'C: \ code \ workspace \ my_app' seems to be part of Subversion 1.7 or higher working copy. Upgrade your Subversion client to use this working copy.

What can I do to make this project understandable for Subclipse? Assuming I don’t have the authority to update everything, is there a way to make this project acceptable to 1.6 client without losing progress?

The command line client that I use is located in Cygwin.

See: http://subclipse.tigris.org/

Support for Subversion 1.7.0
Subclipse 1.8.x editions are available and includes support for Subversion 1.7.0, including the new WC-NG format.

When a new SVN client touches a working copy, it updates the working copy layout to the new format. You cannot return, and you cannot mix SVN clients of different versions, either on the basis of the graphical interface or the command line. I suggest switching to the new Subclipse. He will understand the new layout 1.7.
