Subversion
Use this page to specify the settings to be applied to your project directories that are under Subversion control
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Enable interactive mode | Select this option if you want WebStorm 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. |
Presentation
Use this settings page to configure data presentation settings.
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Check svn:mergeinfo in target subtree when preparing for merge | Select this option if you want WebStorm 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. |

| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Use WebStorm general proxy settings as default for Subversion | Select this option if you want Subversion to use the default WebStorm proxy settings. |

| Password | Select this option if you want to use a password for SSH authentication. |
