FYI,

I'm stuck with svn version 1.4.2 for both running the tests and the  
reporting, for the time being (we've moved to git and no longer use  
svn).  Do you know if 1.4.2 will work with 1.6.2?  If not, there may  
be down time with the tests and reporting until I can get 1.6.2  
installed and working.
