SVN

The SVN preferences panel is opened from menu OptionsPreferences+SVN and it is the place where the user preferences for the embedded SVN client tool are configured. More preferences that configure how the embedded SVN client tool works can be set in the global files called 'config' and 'servers', that is the files with parameters that act as defaults applied to all the SVN client tools that are used by the same user on his login account on the computer. These files can be opened for editing with the two edit actions available in the SVN client tool on the Global Runtime Configuration submenu of the Options menu.

The Working copy panel

  • Working copy administrative directory - allows you to customize the directory name where the svn entries are kept for each directory in the working copy.

  • When switching to an old format working copy you can instruct Syncro SVN Client to do one of the following:

    • Automatically upgrade - older format working copies will be upgraded to the newest known format.

    • Never upgrade - older format working copies are left untouched. No attempt to upgrade the format is made.

    • Always ask - you will be notified when such a working copy is used and you are allowed to choose what action to be taken - to upgrade or not the format of the current working copy.

  • Automatically refresh the working copy - if this checkbox is selected the working copy is refreshed from cache. Only the new changes are refreshed from disk.

  • Show tooltip on Working Copy and Synchronize trees - for each file and folder a tooltip is displayed with details like SVN status, full path, current revision number, last changed date, etc.

  • Enable working copy caching - if it is selected the content of the working copies is cached for refresh operations.

  • Application global ignores - allows setting file patterns that may include the * and ? wildcards for unversioned files and folders that must be ignored when displaying the working copy resources in the Working Copy view.
