Issue with using svnant

I was provided with an ant build file from someone else which uses svnant and I'm having issues with getting it to work. I extracted out the part that is causing me problems into a separate file:

<project name="rev-check macrodef">
    <sequential>    
        <!-- ant contrib task definition -->
        <taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antlib.xml">
          <classpath>
            <pathelement location="C:/rms-it-apps/ant/taskdefs/ant-contrib-1.0b3.jar"/>
          </classpath>
        </taskdef>

        <taskdef resource="org/tigris/subversion/svnant/svnantlib.xml" loaderref="svnant.loader">
          <classpath>
            <pathelement location="C:/rms-it-apps/ant/taskdefs/svnant-1.3.1/lib/svnant.jar"/>
            <pathelement location="C:/rms-it-apps/ant/taskdefs/svnant-1.3.1/lib/svnClientAdapter.jar"/>
            <pathelement location="C:/rms-it-apps/ant/taskdefs/svnant-1.3.1/lib/svnjavahl.jar"/>
           </classpath>
        </taskdef>
    </sequential>
    <!-- <svn svnkit="false" javahl="false"> -->
    <svn>
        <info target="C:/dev/workspace/rmsitpew/PEW/src" />
        <wcversion prefix="wc" path="C:/dev/workspace/rmsitpew/PEW/src" />
    </svn>
    <echo>Here 1</echo>

When I try to run it with just the <svn> tag I get the following output:

C:\dev\svnant>runant

I saw a suggestion to run it with the tag <svn svnkit="false" javahl="false"> but then I get this output:

Some problems:

• Your commandline client (svn) seems to be of an older version than the client you use to checkout/create your working copy. It is essential that the svn version you use in ant is EXACTLY the same as other svn tools you use on this working copy. The error suggests that you need to update the command line client to a 1.7 version
• javahl needs some strange libs to be installed in windows. See here for details. Or ask the one who provided the task.
• you can ignore the deprecated warning at first. And fix it when everything works.

I'd suggest sticking to the commandline client or using svnkit.

Here you can find a general overview of all available tools, which you can use with the ant task.
