Working Copy View

The Working Copy view allows you to manage the content of an SVN working copy.

The toolbar contains the list of defined working copies, a set of view modes that allow you to filter the content of the working copy based on the resource status (like incoming or outgoing changes), and a Settings menu.

If you click any of the view modes (All Files, Modified, Incoming, Outgoing, Conflicts), the information displayed changes as follows:

All Files - Resources (files and folders) are presented in a hierarchical structure with the root of the tree representing the location of the working copy on the file system. Each resource has an icon representation which describes the type of resource and also depicts the state of that resource with a small overlay icon.

Working Copy View - All Files View Mode
Modified - The resource tree presents resources modified locally (including those with conflicting content) and remotely. Decorator icons are used to differentiate between various resource states:
- - incoming modification from repository:
  - - file content modified remotely;
  - - new file added remotely;
  - - file deleted remotely;
- - outgoing modification to repository:
  - - file content modified locally;
  - - new file added locally;
  - - file deleted locally;
- - pseudo-conflict state - a resource being locally and remotely modified at the same time;
- - real conflict state - a resource that had both incoming and outgoing changes and not all the differences could be merged automatically by the update operation (manually editing the local file is necessary for resolving the conflict).

Working Copy View - Modified View Mode

Incoming - The resource tree presents only incoming changes.
Outgoing - The resource tree presents only outgoing changes.
Conflicts - The resource tree presents only conflicting changes (real conflicts and pseudo-conflicts).

The following columns provide information about the resources:

Name - Resource name. Resource icons can have the following decorator icons:
- Additional status information:
  - Propagated modification marker - A folder marked with this icon indicates that the folder itself presents some changes (like modified properties) or a child resource has been modified.
  - External - This indicates a mapping of a local directory to the URL of a versioned resource. It is declared with a svn:externals property in the parent folder.
  - Switched - This indicates a resource that has been switched from the initial repository location to a new location within the same repository. The resource goes to this state as a result of the Switch action executed from the contextual menu of the Working Copy view.
  - Grayed - A resource with a grayed icon but no overlaid icon is an ignored resource. It is obtained with the Add to svn:ignore action.
- Current SVN depth of a folder:
  - Immediate children (immediates) (a variant of sparse checkout) - The directory contains only direct file and folder children. Child folders ignore their content.
  - File children only (files) (a variant of sparse checkout) - The directory contains only direct file children, disregarding any child folders.
  - This folder only (empty) (a variant of sparse checkout) - The directory will discard any child resource.
  Note: Any folder unmarked with one of the depth icons, has recursive depth (infinity) set by default (presents all levels of child resources).
Size - Resource size on disk;
Local file status - Shows the changes of working copy resources that were not committed to the repository yet. The following icons are used to mark resource status:
- - Resource is not under version control.
- - Resource is being ignored because it is not under version control and its name matches a file name pattern defined in one of the following places:
  - global-ignores section in the SVN client-side 'config' file;
  - Application global ignores option of Syncro SVN Client;
  - the value of a svn:ignore property set on the parent folder of the resource being ignored.
- - Marks a newly created resource, scheduled for addition to the version control system.
- - Marks a resource scheduled for addition, created by copying a resource already under version control and inheriting all its SVN history.
- - The content of the resource has been modified.
- - Resource has been replaced in your working copy (the file was scheduled for deletion, and then a new file with the same name was scheduled for addition in its place).
- - Resource is scheduled for deletion.
- - The resource is incomplete (as a result of an interrupted checkout or update operation).
- - The resource is missing because it was moved or deleted without using a SVN aware application.
- - The contents of the resource is in real conflict state.
- - Resource is in tree conflict state after an update operation because:
  - Resource was locally modified and incoming deleted from repository;
  - Resource was locally scheduled for deletion and incoming modified.
- - Resource is obstructed (versioned as one kind of object: file, directory or symbolic link, but has been replaced outside Syncro SVN Client by a different kind of object).
Local properties status - Marks the resources that have SVN properties, with the following possible states:
- - The resource has SVN properties set.
- - The resource properties have been modified.
- - Properties for this resource are in real conflict with property updates received from the repository.
Date - Date when the resource was last time modified.
Revision - The revision number at which the resource was last time modified.
Author - Name of the person who made the last modification on the resource.
Remote file status - Shows changes of resources recently modified in the repository. The following icons are used to mark incoming resource status:
- - Resource is newly added in repository.
- - The content of the resource has been modified in repository.
- - Resource was replaced in repository.
- - Resource was deleted from repository.
Remote properties status - Resources marked with the icon have incoming modified properties from the repository.
Remote date - Date of the resource's latest modification committed on the repository.
Remote revision - Revision number of the resource's latest committed modification.
Remote author - Name of the author who committed the latest modification on the repository.
Type - Contains the resource type or file extension.

Note: The working copy table allows you to show or hide any of its columns and also to sort its contents by any of the displayed columns. The table header provides a contextual menu which allows you to customize the displayed information.

The toolbar allows you to switch between two working copies:

Drop down list - Contains all the working copies Syncro SVN Client is aware of. When you select another working copy from the list, the newly selected working copy content will be scanned and displayed in the Working Copy view.
Add/Remove Working Copy - opens the Working copies list dialog which displays the working copies Syncro SVN Client is aware of. In this dialog you can add existing working copies or remove the no longer needed ones. If you try to add a folder which is not a valid Subversion working copy, a warning dialog will inform you that the selected directory is not under version control. Please note that removing a working copy from this dialog will NOT remove it from your file system; you will have to do that manually.
