How to copy tortoisesvn settings from one machine to another

tortoise-svn

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.

Best Answer

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.

Sounds like it this support article could be relevent:
http://www.visualsvn.com/support/topic/00052/

It seems to match all of the conditions that you described. Their fix says:

Since you run VisualSVN Server service under a dedicated user account, 
you have to add SPN manually to Active Directory: 

1.Logon to a Domain Controller as a domain administrator or as a user 
with specific delegated permissions required to modify SPNs. 
For additional information on permissions required to modify SPNs 
please read the "Delegating Authority to Modify SPNs" Microsoft TechNet article. 

2.Start elevated command prompt and enter the following command: 
setspn -a http/hostname.contoso.com CONTOSO\username
