Using an existing solution with AnkhSVN 2.1

• • If glyphs do not appear automatically choose Tools -> Options -> Source Control and make sure AnkhSVN is the active source control provider.
• Verify if the solution is connected to AnkhSVN
• • Right click the solution file. If you have an option that says 'Add to Subversion', your Solution is not connected yet
  • Click Add to Subversion and confirm adding the binding
  • If your project is not in an existing workingcopy you are now asked where to store your project
• If some of the projects do not show glyphs
• Check if the projects are connected in File -> Subversion -> Change Source Control
• Make sure that at least the Solution and the projects missing glyphs are connected
  (Many project types do not require explicit binding)
