Function: This command switches to SVN offline mode. In SVN offline mode, the implicit locking and all commands that access the SVN repository are not possible.
Call:
-
Menu bar: “Project SVN”.
-
Context menu: “SVN”
Requirement: The project is linked to SVN.
When switching back to SVN online mode, all present locks on the working copy are checked against the server. If this locking is invalid, then it is released.
Uses case
The user on a machine wants to make changes to the project without disconnecting the connection. At the moment, there is not connection to the server. Despite this, when automatic locking is activated, work is possible because the SVN offline mode deactivates the automatic lock temporarily.
