Tell Netbeans to forget about SVN

Question

Using Netbeans I once checked out a project from a SVN repository, just to test SVN functions in Netbeans.

Now, everytime I create a new project, or open an existing project not under source control, Netbeans "thinks" is under version control in that repository I was playing with.

How can I tell Netbeans to forget everything about that SVN repository I once used, so I can work on some small trivial applcation completely locally, without interacting with any version control repository. But without uninstalling Netbeans SVN plug-in so I can use for some other projects.

---

Edit: By "Netbeans "thinks" is under version control in that repository" I mean the following:

• In the project tree view a blue icon is shown next to almost all packages/objects
• Object names appear in green
• The tooltip on packages says "Contains new, modified or deleted files or properties"
• The tooltip on object says "Locally modified"
• SVN options to commit changes in the Team menu are available.

If I disable the SVN plugin, then all the above symptoms are gone.

On the other hand, I couldn't find any .svn subdirectory and no reference to svn in <%APPDATA%>/.netbeans/6.7/build.properties

If you still need to keep your project under version control but maintain the version control outside NetBeans, you can deactivate SVN plugin or uninstall it completely. In the NetBeans IDE go to Tools->Plugins then under the Installed tab (in 7.x check in "Show details") check Subversion and hit Deactivate or Uninstall. The plugin will be deactivated/removed and you will be prompted to restart the IDE:
