Transferring profile settings to other pc

I'm dealing with quite a few software projects using subversion. Is it somehow possible to export the profile settings (project & repository) to transfer it to other PCs?

Regarding SmartSVN, you may simply transfer corresponding files from within SmartSVN's settings directory to your new machine. All of the "Notable configuration files" might be interesting for you:

What exactly do you mean when you say "profile settings (project & repository)"?

You can copy everything:

  • Repositories: Just copy the directory tree to another computer. Since the URL of the repository changes, you will have to checkout fresh workikng copies or use the "svn switch --relocate" command to relocate the working copies to the new repository location.

  • Working copies: Just copy them if you wish. They will function just fine as long as the repository is at the same spot.

  • Individual subversion profile settings: Depending on the operating system, these settings live somewhere in your home directory. On a modern windows (since Vista), this is most likely "C:\Users\(your user name)\Application Data\subversion". On a linux/unix machine, it is ~"/.subversion" (most likely /home/(your user name)/.subversion). You can copy these directories to a new computer, too if you want. They can contain passwords.
