I want to copy all tortoisesvn related settings from one machine to another. Where are these stored?

Update:

While some of the settings are stored at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\TortoiseSVN as stated below, there are other settings that are not. Comments seem to indicate these are Subversion specific settings as opposed to TortoiseSVN, but I cannot find where these are located.

You would really have better luck asking this on SO. Much more tortoise svn questions there & users who use it everyday. – ldigas Mar 3 '10 at 1:35

@Idigas, SO is for programming related questions, this has nothing to do with programming, even though it is a tool used by many programmers. – heavyd Mar 3 '10 at 1:44
I agree, I thought the questions was better suited for SU vs. SO. – mindless.panda Mar 3 '10 at 1:49

@Idigas, that is correct, it will actually move the question to SO. You can get a bit of question closing training here: meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/32490/… :) – heavyd Mar 3 '10 at 4:38

To save and restore the settings of TortoiseSVN you can use the following commands:

Save:

reg save HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\TortoiseSVN %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\tortoise.hive

Restore:

reg restore HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\TortoiseSVN %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\tortoise.hive

You can put each line in a separate text-file and save them as batch scripts, e.g Restore.bat / Save.bat

The settings will be backed up to and restored from the current user's desktop.

From the source machine, export the settings from the registry at: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\TortoiseSVN. Then merge the .reg file on the destination machine(s).

This doesn't seem to include ignore settings and so potentially other settings in tortoise. – mindless.panda Mar 5 '10 at 21:38
@user26453: the ignore settings aren't in the registry because they're Subversion settings rather than TortoiseSVN settings. They can be found in the svn "configuration area": svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.advanced.confarea.html. Also see the "Subversion configuration file" Edit button in the TortoiseSVN general settings screen. – user2913 Mar 5 '10 at 22:25
Clicking on the Edit button in the general settings screen pops up what looks to be a generic Subversion config, not at all showing what I currently have in the ignore field. I will investigate where Subversion settings are stored via svnbook. – mindless.panda Mar 6 '10 at 4:51
