Subversion/Ankhsvn: How to change status from “copied and modified” to added










2















When implementing new stuff in my Visual Studio (2015) solutions, I often copy existing files and heavily modify their content, instead of starting completely from scratch.



Now, when committing these files to the Subversion repo, the "Pending Changes" windows (we use AnkhSVN) these files have their Change information correctly set to "Copied and Modified". A diff is possible to the original content. However, in many cases, I would rather have these files to show as "new" or "added", because this better suits their heavily modified state. Heck, the most of the time the do implement a complete new feature.



How to change the "Change" state from "Copied and Modified" to "New" in the AnkhSVN "Pending Changes" window?



Note: In the TortoiseSVN Commit window, these files show as added, but are annotated as "copied from" in the hover window. Also, they allow to compare to base, which I do not want in this case.



Note2: The opposite case is also happening. When newly generating files (for EF Entities for example) these show as "New over Deleted" (when previously deleted) but I would have the rather display simply as "changed".
