title: How to upload my files on SVN through Tortoise SVN - Need to upgrade the working copy first
body: <p>I feel like a douche for not being able to upload a simple directory to SVN.</p>
  
  <p>I am using Tortoise SVN version 1.8.</p>
  
  <p>I selected a folder and did a checkout from the SVN folder. When I had the existing folders, I added a new folder "New"  and did a commit (by right clicking the folder and Selecting SVN Commit). It showed all of the directory is uploaded or that's what I thought that everything should be uploaded. But it missed quite a lot of items. </p>
  
  <p>When I right clicked again and did an SVN Commit, it showed a lot of non-versioned files. When I selected All and clicked Ok (to commit), it gave me the following error.</p>
  
  <p>The working copy at the location is too old format (format 10) to work with client version 1.8.0 (it expects format 31). <strong>You need to upgrade the working copy first</strong>.</p>
  
  <p>Could you help  that how can I upgrade the working copy first?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
