The contextual menu in the Working Copy view contains the following actions:
Open - This action will open the selected file in an editor where you can make modifications to it. The action is active only when a single file is selected.
Synchronize view. This is useful when you have a large working copy and you only want to verify the changes to a specific part you are currently working on.
Synchronize - it contacts the repository and determines the working copy and the repository changes made to the selected resources. It displays the result of the operation in theUpdate - This command updates your selected resources from the working copy to the HEAD revision from the repository (latest modifications). It differs from the update action from the Synchronize view in that it always brings you the HEAD revision from the repository. If a directory is involved it will be updated recursively. The action is active only on resources that are under version control.
Commit - This action collects the outgoing changes from the selected resources in the working copy and presents them in a dialog. Then you can choose exactly what to commit by selecting or deselecting resources accordingly. A directory will always be committed recursively. The unversioned resources will be deselected by default. In the commit dialog you will also have to enter a commit comment before sending your changes to the repository.
Add - This operation adds the selected resources to version control. A directory will be added recursively to version control. It is not mandatory to explicitly add resources to version control but it is recommended. At commit time unversioned resources will have to be manually selected in the commit dialog. It is only active on unversioned resources.
Add to svn:ignore - This action can only be performed on resources not under version control. It allows you to keep inside your working copy, files that should not participate to the version control operations. The action actually modifies the value of the svn:ignore property of the resource's parent directory.
New Folder - This operation creates a new folder and adds it to version control. If the selected path is not under version control, the newly created directory will not be added to version control.
Delete - This action allows you to delete resources from the Subversion working copy. If unversioned, added or modified resources will be encountered, a dialog will prompt you to confirm their deletion. This is because their content cannot be recovered. The action it is not enabled when the selection contains missing resources.
Copy - This action copies resources from the working copy. Each copy will also have the original resource's history. For more details please read the section Copy / Move / Rename resources
