Svn and disconnected edits

Question

I am using svn (VisualSVN Server in specific with VisualSVN and thus TortoiseSVN). Is it possible to work in an offline scenario? E.g. code is checked in, and then modify the solution without checking out the relevant file?

What (if anything) will go wrong?

Answer 1

You can work offline with local repository through file://. First you need to create local repo, sync with remote, then switch working dir to the local repo, after some work you can sync them back with remote and switch working dir back to remote. This is described here.
