It sounds like your svn version (1.7.7) is newer than the svn
libraries that were used to build bzr-svn (most likely 1.6.?).

However, IIRC, svn-1.7 libraries broke a lot of things, so it isn't as
simple as just updating bzr-svn and rebuilding it (with new
subvertpy). Something along those lines needs to be done.

Alternatively, can you just use an older svn client?

John,
I will try to use an older svn client or wait for the next release of bazaar.
Thank you for your swift answer.
