How do I stop IntelliJ searching for Incoming SVN Changes?

My IntelliJ IDE (12.1.4) periodically searches for incoming changes in my connected SVN repositories. When I first installed IntelliJ these incoming changes weren't searched for automatically - if I remember correctly I had to click on the refresh button in the Incoming sub-tab within the Changes tab and set some options.

I can't seem to know switch this off. Collecting information on changes seems to cause performance issues for me - maybe due to the remote location of the repository. Can't see any options in the system preferences, and clicking refresh, refreshes!

In summary - does anyone know how to stop Intellij collecting information on SVN changes?

Sure, like this:

  • Go to the same place as where you turned the automatic refresh feature on (the version control pane, marked by 9: Changes, and then the Repository tab)
  • Hit the red X to Clear the VCS history cache (note: this won't delete anything important!)
  • Hit the first icon with 2 circular blue arrows to Refresh the history, and now untick Refresh changes every checkbox and hit OK

The VCS history cache will be now refreshed once, but not periodically - refresh manually as needed.

And you're done!
