Subversive Problem

I am using Subversive - the Eclipse subversion plugin - 0.7.7 plus its subversion connector 2.1.0.

Today an exception jumped out of nowhere, making all my subversion based projects unable to synchronise with the server.

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.eclipse.team.svn.core.connector.SVNChangeStatus.(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;IJJJLjava/lang/String;IIIIZZLjava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;JZLjava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;JLorg/eclipse/team/svn/core/connector/SVNLock;JJILjava/lang/String;ZZLorg/eclipse/team/svn/core/connector/SVNConflictDescriptor;)V

The only possible reason that I can think of is I accidentally copied some ".svn" directories into some non-subversion-based project.

On eclipse.technology.subversive Newsgroup, there is a discussion on the same exception, but happen on Subversive 0.7.8.

I am very lucky since after I changed the subversion connector in use from Native JavaHL to SVN Kit, the problem seems gone! Otherwise, all my development work has to stop!
