Normally, you can expect Subversion to transparently operate across different mix of client and server versions, but they've made a... change[1]... back in the days, that made working directories illegible in newer (1.7+) clients. The 1.7 client has the means of converting 1.6 working directories to a new format. I'm unsure, if 1.8 still have this ability.
