SVN client - internal vs. external

[healdp]

Hi,

Is it possible to have the internal and external versions of the SVN client reference the same local working copy? (Any version of Oxygen)
It doesn't seem possible, and a closer look seems to show the hidden svn directory is different depending on whether you use the client from within Oxygen, or start the client from the OS.

Thanks for any tips!

Hello,

For any version of oXygen, there should be no difference in referencing the same working copy either using the internal or the external Syncro SVN Client.

The only thing you should care about is that after checking out the Working Copy you should manually add it in the other instance of the Syncro SVN Client in which you want it to be referenced.

In short, there should be the same behavior in both the internal and the external Syncro SVN Client instances.

Ah, I figured it out. By default, one uses the ".svn" hidden directory style, the other uses "_svn". If you configure both to use the same convention, the common working copy behaves correctly. No idea if this is due to our SVN setup, but might help someone else with the same problem.
Cheers!

Hi,

Actually, by default they both use ".svn". However, this is configurable in Options > Preferences, SVN > Working copy, Working copy administrative directory.

My guess is you've changed that option to "_svn" at one time and forgot about it.
