Tell Netbeans to forget about SVN

Question

Using Netbeans I once checked out a project from a SVN repository, just to test SVN functions in Netbeans.

Now, everytime I create a new project, or open an existing project not under source control, Netbeans "thinks" is under version control in that repository I was playing with.

How can I tell Netbeans to forget everything about that SVN repository I once used, so I can work on some small trivial applcation completely locally, without interacting with any version control repository. But without uninstalling Netbeans SVN plug-in so I can use for some other projects.

---

Edit: By "Netbeans "thinks" is under version control in that repository" I mean the following:

• In the project tree view a blue icon is shown next to almost all packages/objects
• Object names appear in green
• The tooltip on packages says "Contains new, modified or deleted files or properties"
• The tooltip on object says "Locally modified"
• SVN options to commit changes in the Team menu are available.

If I disable the SVN plugin, then all the above symptoms are gone.

On the other hand, I couldn't find any .svn subdirectory and no reference to svn in <%APPDATA%>/.netbeans/6.7/build.properties

Answer 1

There is a file that Netbeans maintain, usually saved at "C:\Documents and Settings\<login-Name>\.netbeans\5.5" like location called build.properties. You can see if there are any SVN entries in that file, if so, back it up, delete those entries and see if this scenario repeats.

Answer 2

Netbeans "thinks" is under version control in that repository I was playing with.

How exactly does that manifest? The only thing that should make Netbeans think a project is version-controlled by SVN is the presence of an .svn subdirectory.

Answer 3

SOLVED: There was a .svn directory higher in the directory tree, something like this:

c:\dir1
    |-\.svn
    |-\dir2
        |-\dir3 (where I store netbeans project)
            |-\project1
            |-\project2
            |   ...
            |-\projectN

Whenever I created a new project in c:\dir1\dir2\dir3\new_project the problem arised.

I removed that .svn directory ant the problems was solved.
