Configuring Subversion Branches

IntelliJ IDEA integration with Subversion provides the capability to compose a list of parent folders of the branches you work with. This list will be displayed every time you perform any kind of a branch operation, for example, to synchronize your working copy, compare branches, etc.

Branches are configured in the Configure Subversion Branches dialog box.

On this page:

To open the Configure Subversion Branches dialog box, do one of the following

  • In the Version Control tool window, open the Subversion Working Copies Information tab, and then click the Configure Branches link.
  • Alternatively:
    1. In the Version Control tool window, open the Repository tab, click the Highlight Integrated toolbar button highlightIntegrated to have the Merge Info pane displayed.
    2. Click the Browse button browseButton.png or press Shift+Enter.

To configure branches
