version control - Will TortoiseSVN 1.7 work properly against a SVN 1.6 repository? -

i upgrade tortoisesvn installation version 1.7. have visualsvn server running svn 1.6 repository.

do need upgrade repository 1.7 before can update client, or tortoisesvn backwards compatible?

i know during upgrade tortoisesvn 1.6 1.7, need convert working re-create new format, during commit have logic see server version , adapt appropriately?

in release notes

older clients , servers interoperate transparently 1.7 servers , clients

...

subversion 1.7 servers utilize same repository format subversion 1.6. therefore, possible seamlessly upgrade , downgrade between 1.6.x , 1.7.x servers without changing format of on-disk repositories

there no need anything, working re-create upgraded, , still able talk 1.6 server
