It looks subversion settings under <userdir>/config/svn/config will be copied from ~/.subversion/config every time at NetBeans startup. Is there any way to keep settings only for NetBeans? Sometimes we need to use some settings just for NetBeans use. For example, on Japanese Mac OS X, as you may know, JDK6 uses Shift JIS encoding. So users need to set log-encoding = Shift_JIS just for NetBeans use. However, user can not add it to ~/.subversion/config because terminal is using UTF-8 encoding. So users need to add the setting to <userdir>/config/svn/config after starting NetBeans every time. Is it possible to change not to copy if <userdir>/config/svn/config exists? Or any reasonable solution?
> Is it possible to change not to copy if <userdir>/config/svn/config exists? config files in the nbuserid where never meant to be user edited and we rewrite them in various situations - e.g when the proxy settings in the ide change, ... . I guess, it wouldn't be a simplefix to change the current behavior > Or any reasonable solution? well, there is a switch we use for testing. you could give it a try netbeans.t9y.svn.user.config.path=/path/to/config/directory just create a copy from your current svn config dir, edit the files and use the switch to point netbeans to it please note that is eventually might have some performance impacts as it also causes that some runtime caching will be skipped.
