Daniel Shahaf commented on SVN-4886:
------------------------------------

OK, so just for the sake of explicitness, we're saying that if someone has svn 1.15 and 1.16 clients side by side and they set {{compatible-version=1.16}} in the configuration, the 1.15 client will not be able to do any checkouts unless {{--compatible-version}} is explicitly passed. This effectively means all third-party clients should add support for doing the equivalent of {{{}svn checkout --compatible-version={}}}. Worth documenting in the release notes?

> Let the default "compatible version" be specified in the user config. (That is, the default version for 'checkout' and 'upgrade', which are the places where a version can be specified.)
> This configured version should be overridden by any '--compatible-version' command-line option.
