Disabling the constant upgrade messages from subversion clients

Question

Most everything about the subversion eco-system makes me happy; however the reminders to upgrade to newer versions of the tools gets annoying. Is there any way to turn these off if I am rolling the client to hundreds of workstations? I know I can dismiss the dialog box and tell it not to remind me but I want to never show the dialog boxes for Tortoise, subclipse, and Ankh.

Answer 1

For AnkhSVN you can disable the automatic check using the registry.

HKCU\SOFTWARE\AnkhSVN\AnkhSVN\VisualStudio\<VERSION>\UpdateCheck

Where is 8.0, 9.0 or 10.0

Create/set Interval to DWORD 0 to disable. This is the interval in hours.

Answer 2

I only use Tortoise, but to disable the upgrade messages you can just right click in explorer -> Settings -> Uncheck Automatically check for newer versions every week.

Did you look through the settings of Ankh and Subclipse to see if they have a similar option?
