## What

Display subversion information when in a subversion repository. Also works for subfolders. For maximum compatibility,
make sure your `svn` executable is up-to-date (when branch or status information is incorrect for example).

## Sample Configuration

```json
{
  "type": "svn",
  "style": "powerline",
  "powerline_symbol": "\uE0B0",
  "foreground": "#193549",
  "background": "#ffeb3b",
  "properties": {
    "fetch_status": true
  }
}
```

## Properties

### Fetching information

As doing multiple [subversion][svn] calls can slow down the prompt experience, we do not fetch information by default.
You can set the following properties to `true` to enable fetching additional information (and populate the template).

| Name              | Type      | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                     |
| ----------------- | --------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `fetch_status`    | `boolean` | fetch the local changes - defaults to `false`                                                                                                                                                                                   |
| `native_fallback` | `boolean` | when set to `true` and `svn.exe` is not available when inside a WSL2 shared Windows drive, we will fallback to the native svn executable to fetch data. Not all information can be displayed in this case. Defaults to `false`. |

## Template ([info][templates])

:::note default template

```template
 \ue0a0{{.Branch}} r{{.BaseRev}} {{.Working.String}}
```

| `.BaseRev` | `int`       | the currently checked out revision number             |

### SvnStatus

| Name            | Type      | Description                                    |
| --------------- | --------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| `.Modified`     | `int`     | number of modified files                       |
| `.Deleted`      | `int`     | number of deleted files                        |
| `.Added`        | `int`     | number of added files                          |

| `.HasConflicts` | `boolean` | if the status contains conflicts or not        |

| `+`  | added       |
| `!`  | conflicted  |
| `-`  | deleted     |
| `~`  | modified    |
| `>`  | moved       |
