You use this panel to configure VCS-specific parameters that affect the behavior of Git, Local History, Mercurial, and Subversion in the IDE.
After you select the versioning system you can specify the following options:
| Element | Description | 
|---|---|
| Versioning Systems | To make changes to settings for Git, Local History, Mercurial, or Subversion, select the appropriate versioning tool from the list. Available settings immediately display within the window. | 
| General | |
| Disconnected Repositories | Displays when General is selected in the Versioning Systems list. To disconnect a repository from a version control system, select the required versioning tool in the Versioning System drop-down list, and specify the repository folder after clicking Add. To reconnect a disconnected repository folder, select the appropriate folder in the Disconnected Folders list and click Remove. | 
| History | When selected you can modify the options that affect the History view of files in the Editor. | 
| Local History | Define the options to be applied to the IDE built-in versioning support for local projects and files. | 
| Remove Local History files older than x days | Set the maximum age of local history files before the IDE deletes them. You must enter a whole number. The default value is 7. | 
| Only remove revisions without a label | Check this box and the IDE will not delete Local History versions that you labeled. To label a version of a file, open the Local History view of the file, select the version, and type something in the label field. | 
| Never remove Local History files | Select this option and the IDE will never delete file versions in local history. Note that this can add up to a lot of disk space over time. | 
| Versioning History | Define the options to be applied to versioning control systems that the IDE supports. | 
| Increments for loading revisions x days | Select to retrieve the versioning history for the specified amount of days. The default value is 30. | 
| Load all revisions | Select to retrieve all revisions made to a versioning control system. | 
| Git | When selected you can modify the global options for the Git versioning system. | 
| Mercurial | When selected you can modify the global options for the Mercurial versioning system. | 
| Subversion | When selected you can modifythe global options for the Subversion versioning system. |
