Yes you do. The svn client tool isn't one of the tools accessing the  
repistory directly.

svn itself only affects the locally checked out working copy. So if  
you upgrade your installation, you won't be able to downgrade any more.

Likewise, if someone on the server upgrades svn there, he or she  
won't be able to downgrade again once any tools accessing the  
repository directly (the DAV_SVN-module, svnserve or svnadmin) has  
touched the repository.

But checking out and commiting are operations your client does  
without directly accessing the repository on the server. That access  
flows via the apache-module or the svnserve binary.
