Internal log cache

kdesvn may use an internal logcache for some operations. Mostly it is used for the revisiontree but when viewing simplified log in offline modus, too. The caches are oranized as sqlite databases stored in $HOME/.sqvnqt/logcache. Every numbered file is a storage for a different repository.

Warning

The databases may get large! So you may disable automatic update of logcache in settings.

You may simply remove a database, than no cached log will given back for that repository (and no revisiontree!) but when you don't disable automatic filling the cache on next open this repository or an associated working copy of it the cache will refilled again.

Offline mode

Kdesvn may work without network access, eg., you may switch that no network access is allowed. This may usefull when working without network like on notebooks. In such cases kdesvn always get the logs from the internal cache. At this time (2008-06-23) this log is reduced to base functions due technical reasons, so the cached log may (but not must) differ from real log. Differ means that it will not display all copy operations even "Log follows nodechanges" is set.

Logcache and revisiontree

The revisiontree will only use the logcache 'cause otherwise it must get always the logs again. It will NOT refresh the logcache (but this may changed in later releases).
