Subversion 1.7 support, as written in the product overview?

Question

Hello,
I read about Subversion 1.7 support on Dreamweaver CS 5.5 product overview. ( http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pressroom/pressmaterials/pdfs/cs55_dreamweaver_whatsnew.pd f )
Some documents state 1.6.9 but I think 1.7 should be in the recent DW.  I've downloaded and tried CS 5.5, however the library version is still 1.6.9. Tried a clean checkout from the local 1.7.0 Subversion Edge Server using Dreamweaver CS 5.5 with no success.
+ The test on the setup dialog succeeds ("the server and project are accessible!").
+ I can browse the repo in the file window.
+ I can see the revisions, and open a repo file using the 'view' button on the revision history dialog.
When I try to initially checkout the empty working folder I get : "file activity failed!". The saved log file states:
SVN: #0, Path 'http://xxxx:80/svn/xxxxxx/trunk/www' is not canonicalized; there is a problem with the client.
File activity complete.
PS: I also have Tortoise 1.7.1 installed, but the problematic checkout was to a new clean folder, not touched by Tortoise.
So what's wrong?
If I sacrifice Tortoise, can I make DW work with the local subversion edge server by just uninstalling Tortoise?
Thank you.

Carey,
You guys at Adobe are really screwing us over. On Nov 2, 2011 5:53 PM you replied DarkwingDuck and said you'd alert the team to update that doc that Subversion Client Version 1.7 was incorrect. I just downloaded that doc for the first time today and it STILL has the 1.7 reference.
Also, when I was researching whether to move to CS6 for Dreamweaver one of the things I looked for was the subversion client. DW 5.5 said on the website that 1.7 was supported and in the initial DW6 material it also stated support for 1.7.
So my question is how long can it take for you guys to "correct" information you are providing to developers who are trying to make these decisions? I already upgraded some of my repositories to 1.7 in prep for moving to DW 6. Now that it doesn't work (nevermind the fact that this breaks the workflow I was hopeing to benefit from) I have to back those repositories back down to 1.6.9 if I want to make it work and if I do that I won't be able to use the other tools used by other developers using SmartSVN 7 and the 1.7 client version.
Why can't the DW product be updated to add support for 1.7 and Git and Mercurial? Seems like a natural fit for a "professional" IDE tool that costs significantly more than alternatives like Aptana etc.Please add support for 1.7 at least so that your docs may be correct. Or at a minimum fix your docs. I will submit a request as you describe above but I doubt it will help at all.
