Tortoise SVN export settings

Question

Hi,

can i somehow export settings from Tortoise SVN(i mean Tortoise SVN client settings, not subversion). I must install Tortoise SVN for whole develop team and don`t want to set up client many times. I tried to search on Google but found nothing.

Thanks

Answer 1

The settings are in the registry under HKCU\Software\TortoiseSVN, e.g., cache type, include and exclude folders, preferred diff tool, etc.

You can export that branch of the registry to a .reg file (right-click/Export in RegEdit), strip out the settings you don't want to change, and then load that on the workstations using a batch file, login script or similar.

Put this in the batch file:

regedit /s MyPathTo/MyExportFile.reg

The /s parameter will suppress the confirmation dialog before the .reg file is merged into the registry.

Answer 2

I think Tortoise is using the same config file as command line svn. I copy that file to each machine I work with Tortoise and it works.
