Subversion

Item	Description
Path to Subversion executable	Specify the location of the Subversion executable file. Enter the path manually, or click the Browse button and select the path in the dialog that opens.
Enable interactive mode	Select this option if you want IntelliJ IDEA to emulate the behavior when Subversion commands are executed directly from the terminal in the interactive mode (dialogs will pop up where you can input credentials). This is required to handle password/passphrase prompts for svn+ssh repositories, and trust invalid server certificates for https repositories.
Use custom configuration directory	Select this option if you do not want to store Subversion configuration files in the system default location, and specify the path to the custom directory.
Clear Auth Cache	Click this button to delete all stored credentials for the `http`, `svn` and `svn+ssh` protocols from the authentication cache. For more information, refer to Client Credentials.

Presentation

Item	Description
Check svn:mergeinfo in target subtree when preparing for merge	Select this option if you want IntelliJ IDEA to check the merge tracking information for the target branch before merging to prevent duplicates.
Maximum number of revisions to look back in annotations	Select this option to limit the number of revisions to look back at when calculating annotations, and specify the number of revisions.
Show merge source in history and annotations	Select this option if you want merge sources to be visible in annotations and file history.
Ignore whitespace differences in annotations	Select this option if you want white spaces to be ignored when annotating, and, thus, get more meaningful annotations and cast out senseless ones.

Network

Item	Description
Use IntelliJ IDEA general proxy settings as default for Subversion	Select this option if you want Subversion to use the default IntelliJ IDEA proxy settings.
HTTP timeout	Specify the number of seconds to wait for HTTP connection to be established.
SSH connection timeout	Specify the number of seconds to wait for SSH connection to be established.
SSH read timeout	Specify the number of seconds to wait for response.

SSH

Item	Description
SSH executable	Specify the path to the SSH client. Enter the name of the executable file, or click the Browse button and select the path in the dialog that opens. If not specified, `'ssh'` is used by default. This field is only available if the Password or the Private key option is selected.
Username	Specify the username for SSH connection. If the username is explicitly specified in the repository URL, this value will be used and this setting will be ignored. This field is only available if the Password or the Private key option is selected.
Port	If your server is listening on a non-standard port (22 for svn+ssh://), modify the default value. This field is only available if the Password or the Private key option is selected.
Password	Select this option if you want to use a password for SSH authentication.
Private key	Select this option if you want to use a private key for SSH authentication.
Path	Specify the path to the private key. Enter the path manually, or click the Browse button and select the path in the dialog that opens.
Subversion config	Select this option if you want to use the default settings stored in Subversion configuration for SSH connection.
SSH tunnel	This field displays the SSH tunnel settings stored in Subversion configuration. You can modify the value and click the Update button to write this value to the Subversion configuration.
Update	Click this button to check the Subversion configuration and update the value if necessary, or to write the value you have entered to the Subversion configuration.
