1.9 and 1.10 are on different branches.  The revision number (the 16172 in the output above) isn't the entire story.

If you look at the output of "svn info" from a 1.9 checkout and a 1.10 checkout, you'll see that they have different roots.

The benefit of this is that the upcoming 1.10 release doesn't eliminate (or even affect) 1.9.
