Applies to: VisualSVN 8.4 and later
In the VisualSVN plug-in for Visual Studio, using the Open in Web Interface command in a working copy is a quick way to open the corresponding repository in a web browser.
To be able to use the Open in Web Interface command, the following prerequisites need to be met:
- your Subversion repository server needs to be equipped with a web interface for browsing repositories (such as the VisualSVN Server's Repository Web Interface);
- certain settings (also known as web interface properties) need to be configured in the repository. Usually, these required settings should be configured by the administrator of your repository server or by a user who has similar extensive Write access permissions to directories in this repository.
Information for the administrator
To enable the Open in Web Interface command in the VisualSVN plug-in
for Visual Studio, Subversion properties called
webviewer:pathrevision and (optionally)
webviewer:pathrevline should be set in the repository.
Setting a related webviewer:revision property is also
recommended. These three properties are referred to as webviewer
properties or web interface properties. For information on how
to set them, see KB242: Configuring Subversion properties for integration with a web interface.
