This seems to be the most visible change:
> Instead of a .svn directory in every directory in the working copy,
As someone who is still removing various grep -v .svn from Makefiles etc after moving from git, I think this is a *very* good move. Note though that it will break anything that expects that test -d .svn is a good way to tell if the current directory is part of an svn repository. And the need to manually svn upgrade repositories is sure to be a pain.

The need to manually 'svn cleanup' everything requiring cleanup is more likely to be a problem, not least since you're required to do that with a *previous* version of subversion, since 1.7 can't fix unclean old-style working copies at all.
Already upgraded? Package manager doesn't support downgrades? Time to build an older copy from source then.

Yeeh... I've also had to deal with SVN's habit of breaking compatibility between versions. If I remember correctly, in my case it was a mismatch of some minor versions between client and server.
Ended up downgrading client, *then* destroying entire working copy checkout because the new client had managed to upgrade it already.
I'm so glad I don't deal with SVN anymore.

At least this time it does not happen automatically.
SVN's silent upgrade of the working copy has messed up quite a few working copies for me on a NFS-mounted home directory.

How often do you need to call cleanup? In all the years that I have used SVN I haven't had to use it once.

As often as you are bored to death waiting for "svn up" to abort (or other network using command) and you do killall -9 svn because ctrl+c doesn't respond/work well in subversion.
Subversion 1.7.0 released Posted Oct 12, 2011 21:15 UTC (Wed) by vonbrand (subscriber, #4458) [Link] My only worry is if git-svn will handle a "upgraded" server correctly...

From the release notes:
"Subversion 1.7 will only use HTTPv2 when connecting with a 1.7 (or greater) server, but will continue to use existing protocols when communicating with earlier versions of Subversion. Likewise, older clients will only use the old protocol when connecting to a Subversion server, regardless of version."
I don't think git-svn accesses working copies, only repositories, so the new WC format won't make any difference.

Hopefully the new svnrdump will make git-svn easier and more efficient.
