9805: assumes an existence of ".svn/format", SVN integration doesn't work after .svn/format files are gone
For some reason - my .svn folders don't contain ".svn/format" files any more (probably caused by a recent TortoiseSVN update)
IDEA doesn't see the project as part of SVN and throws the following exception:
2009-04-15 02:30:52,691 [2336013] INFO - vcs.impl.AbstractVcsHelperImpl - svn: 'C:\_svn\clfdev\trunk\devmain\DEV5_COMP\Maven' is not a working copy

See ".svn/format files gone" (http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsMessageId=1515106&dsForumId=4061)
and the answer is no library should assume an .svn folder structure ("An app should never rely on something to be present in the .svn folder, because the format may change")
Right now, SVN integration doesn't work at all as long as there are no "format" files.

this is because IDEA doesn't support svn 1.6 new working copy format (yet)
I had same problem. I found a solution:
1. Download beta-vesion of new svn-kit:
http://svnkit.com/download.php ==> http://www.svnkit.com/org.tmatesoft.svn_1.3.0.standalone.zip
2. Copy svnkit.jar from this archive to Idea folder : "/plugins/svn4idea/lib"
3. Restart Idea.
It works for me.
Right, thanks!! It mostly works, but sometimes it doesn't - reverting multiply files din't work correctly, then I got another error message ... But it's better already
Unfortunately, not all svn-kit functions work properly. But its much better than formerly however.
It doesn't work for me at all
Does idea mark files by red? Does history work? And main question, what is version of your idea?
IDEA 7.0.5. Now I noticed that this thread is IDEA 8.1.1 EAP related. Sorry.
