The --parents option appears completely unnecessary in this case, so removing it should be safe. Patch coming...

That's still the only hard requirement I know of. While I haven't had a 1.1.x installation in years, reports of incompatibility have been few. So either people find it easier to upgrade to newer versions of SVN, don't care, or there just aren't that many incompatibilities.

I'd say we will continue to do our best to support whatever versions people care to report (preferably with patches :) incompatibilities for.
