SVN: E160043 Expected Format

The SVN: E160043 Expected FS format error occurs when the installed Subversion application does not support the format of the data in the SVN repository.

AD21 and TortoiseSVN 1.14.1 (FS format 8)










As shown above AD21 does NOT support formal 8.

Solution: Create the SVN repo using TortoiseSVN 1.9.7 (FS format 7).


The error shown below occurred when the user was using Altium's internal Subversion.
The user's version was AD16.0.7 (Build 329).









The SVN Formats are:

 Format 1, understood by Subversion 1.1+
 Format 2, understood by Subversion 1.4+
 Format 3, understood by Subversion 1.5+
 Format 4, understood by Subversion 1.6+
 Format 5, understood by Subversion 1.7-dev, never released
 Format 6, understood by Subversion 1.8+
 Format 7, understood by Subversion 1.9+
 Format 8, understood by Subversion 1.10+
Where + is or Higher Version
Source: Apache.org Repository File Structure

Expected FS format between 1 and 6; found 7, indicates that Altium's internal version control code does not support the latest FS format (7).

Solution:

Install Tortoise ver 1.9 and set the DXP preferences to use the external subversion application.

That's It !
