Tip

If files were encrypted when imported to the SVN repository, or if they have been committed, then note the following:

When committing to the SVN repository, the information about an encrypted project file is included. However, the type of encryption is not included (password, Wibu security key, X509 certificate). Therefore, it may be necessary to encrypt the working copy again in the project settings. In this case, a dialog opens when exiting the command to notify you of this. Then you are able to switch directly to the project settings.
