We’re seeing a UNICODE encoding problem on our systems – Biztalk expects the byte ordering mark for all unicode files, even UTF-8 ones. Have you been able to avoid this problem, or are all of your files encoded UTF-8 with the BOM?

Take a look at the Tortoise SVN online help at http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.advanced.confarea.html#svn.advanced.confarea.windows-registry

I’ve also noticed that your registry keys appear to be incorrect – you should be using:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Tigris.org\Subversion\Config

instead of

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\TortoiseSVN\Config

I just tried that, no luck I’m afraid.

The following is the .reg file I’m using:

Thanks

Unfortunately, I can’t remember the correct procedure for configuring Tortoise through Registry settings, however I’m wondering whether because Tortoise integrates into Windows Explorer, that needs to be restarted for the changes to take effect – that should be a simple as restarting your machine – have you tried that?

Rgds, Nick.

Hi,

I’m having a little trouble getting the auto-prop settings to work when added to the Windows registy. I’ve added values (to update the author name, date etc in my files) to both HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\TortoiseSVN\Config and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\TortoiseSVN\Config but when I add a new file to the SVN repository, it seems to have no effect.

Hope you can help.
