How to connect an existing, non-project, folder to subversion?

How can i connect a folder in Delphi Library path to a folder in Subversion?

Background

In another Delphi source-control IDE plugin, you can configure what they call "Global Mappings". This means that an arbitrary folder on your hard-drive can be mapped to a folder in source control:

enter image description here

This means that any amount of arbitrary folder in my Library path, i can automatically get the benefits of source control:

right from the IDE. The folders just contain arbitrary amounts of source-code files.

That's fine for Delphi 5

That works fine for Delphi 5, but what about Delphi XE6, and their built-in subversion client?

How do i specify a arbitrary mapping between a folder on my hard-drive, and a corresponding repository and folder on the network/internet/cloud?

Update: 3/6/2015

Epocalipse just released their updated VssConneXion for XE6! (and XE7, and their SourceConneXion for the same). Finally, i get to use source control in Delphi again!

It really would be super if Bo...Imp...Co...Embarcadero included some documentation on how to use SVN from Delphi. In the meantime, this question goes unsolvable.

From the image you've provide that other version control is SourceSafe and that probably means Delphi is talking to SourceSafe using the MSSCCI interface.

That would suggest that since Delphi supports MSSCCI, it should also work with any Subversion plug-in that implements the MSSCCI interface.

So one option would be to use Google and search for such a plug-in, of which there are a few to choose from.

I know of at least one such plug-in which is Agent SVN since I'm the author of that plug-in. But unfortunately I can't tell you if it works with Delphi as I've never tested it with that IDE.

But as the plug-in works with several other MSSCCI IDEs I suspect there is a good chance that it will.
