In this field, specify the number of the revision to be used. Click Browse Browse button to open the Changes Browser dialog. By default, IntelliJ IDEA suggests to update your local working copy the HEAD revision. This option corresponds to the --non-recursive (-N) switch of the Subversion update command.

  • Working copy- select this option to get files/directories from repository subtrees that have not been checked out yet.

  • Empty: select this option to involve only the current file.

  • Files: select this option to involve the files in the folder.

  • Immediates: select this option to involve direct children of the current file.

  • Infinity: select this option to enable full recursion.

Force UpdateSelect this checkbox to have local files replaced with the files from the repository even if the local files have modifications and thus abandon the local modifications.
