Subversion: Copy Dialog Box

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.

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:

Element Description

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.

Skip selected Folder and copy only its Contents

Select this option if you want to avoid including the selected folder when creating a copy.

Destination:

Element Description

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.
