This dialog can be reached through menu Preferences / Subversion repository.
See Subversion for information about what this Subversion repository is used for.
This is a no-worrry setting, and everything goes automatic. Bibledit uses its own internal repository to store data.
If this option is selected, there are no other settings to be made.
This setting allows several people to work together on one project.
Several settings have to be made: Repository path, username, and password.
This is the path to the subversion repository that Bibledit is going to use. Your system administrator should give you the path that ought to be filled in here.
Example paths:
svn://biblerepository.com/projects/myproject
svn://localhost/home/joe/projects/test
file:///home/joe/repositories/test3
http://biblerepository.com/repos/myproject
The path should point to an already existing repository, created by the system administrator.
This is the username necessary to obtain read and write access to the repository.
This is the password necessary to obtain read and write access to the repository.
There are two ways to initialize the repository.
You can overwrite the remote repository with the local data. This erases the whole remote repository and then stores all local data into it.
Or you can overwrite the local data with the remote repository. This erases all local data first, and then takes all data from the remote repository and stores it locally.
Please be careful with what you choose here.
Actual changes will occur when pressing OK.
On cancelling the dialog, no changes will occur.
When two users make changes in one line in one verse, and the changes are not compatible, then a conflict will occur. Bibledit will resolve this conflict for you. Settings for that are made in this dialog. You can "take my data". This means that the data of the other user is lost. Or you can "take the server's data". This means that your own changes will be overwritten with the changes that are on the server, which actually means that the changes the other user made overwrite your own changes.
When two users make changes in different verses of the same chapter, at the same time, Bibledit will gracefully merge those changes.
You can set how often Bibledit will check the repository on the server for updates. If this is set to 60 seconds, that means that Bibledit will contact the server every 60 seconds, and find out whether any data has been changed by other users. If that is the case, it will merge these changes with its own data.
