General options

Like the SVN command line client SVNKit Working Copy managment classes (org.tmatesoft.svn.core.wc) use global run-time configuration options. ISVNOptions is the interface of an options driver used to manage those options.

Providing an options driver

An ISVNOptions object is provided to either an SVN*Client's constructor or, when using a single SVNClientManager, to the client manager's newInstance() method.

Default Options

If you haven't special needs to implement a custom run-time config options driver you can use a default one. Use the SVNWCUtil class to get a default options driver (read javadoc).

In short: if you are getting a default options driver not providing a run-time config directory, the driver uses the SVN's default run-time configuration area (settings are taken from and stored in the config file). Otherwise you may provide a preferred config directory, and a default driver will first try to seek for all necessary config files (config, servers) in that directory. If any one of them does not exist the driver will create a new one.
