Subversion: Copy Dialog Box
See Also
The Subversion Copy dialog box enables you to create a copy (i.e. branch) of a
version-controlled file or folder and add it to a new location within the repository.
You access this dialog box by right-clicking a versioned file or folder (e.g.
in the Projects, Files, or Favorites windows) and choosing Subversion > Copy.
The dialog box is divided into two areas: Source and Destination,
enabling you to specify what is to be copied, and where it is to reside.
Source:
- Local/Remote Folder. Specify whether you want to copy the local version
of the file or folder, or the version in the repository. You can also specify a specific
revision of the item by entering a revision number in the Revision text box. Clicking the
Search button adjacent to the Revision text box allows you to view revisions maintained
in the repository.
- Click the Skip selected Folder and copy only its Contents option if you
want to avoid including the selected folder when creating a copy.
Destination:
- Repository Location. Specify a location for the new copy. You can either
type in a path relative to the repository, otherwise click the Browse button to open a new
dialog that aids in browsing the repository folders. You can also specify a new location
in the repository.
- Preview. The Preview text box provides a listing of the fully-qualified
repository URL based on the selection made in Repository Location.
- Switch to Copy. Selecting the Switch to Copy option allows you to begin
immediately working in the new copy upon completing the dialog.
- Copy Description. Enter a description for the new repository location.
