Summary

The Data Management – Version Control page of the Preferences dialog allows you to set up version control options such as Providers and SVN Executables. By default, the VCS Provider - SVN extension is installed. This extension delivers implementation of version control functionality through the use of SharpSVN. This implementation has full support for Unicode (multi-byte) characters in file names. As an example, this allows you to add files to your SVN VCS repository that include Russian characters in their names.

Access

The Data Management – Version Control page is part of the main Preferences dialog that is accessed by clicking the  control in the upper-right corner of the workspace then selecting the Version Control entry under the Data Management folder.

Options/Controls

  • Provider - lists the version control providers available.
  • Enabled - check to enable SVN - Subversion to enable the default provider.
  • Choose the SVN Version format for your local working copy when checking out new projects from all design repositories - select the desired SVN version working copy format. Choices include 1.9 (Recommended), 1.8, and 1.7.
If a format other than 1.9 is selected, the working copy format should be used for checkout of new projects only. For example, if you already have a project using the 1.9 version and the 1.7 version is selected, you might encounter problems with your working copy.
