What does “Enable Editor Config” in the TortoiseMerge settings mean?

180 views Asked by At

Tortoise Merge 1.9.3, the difference viewer that comes with the Tortoise Subversion client, has in its settings dialogue a tick-box setting for “Enable Editor Config”, just right of the “Tab Size” setting. The help for this dialogue does not describe this option, nor could I find it on-line, and I did not observe any effect of setting it — what does it do?

editorconfig is a format to specify how an editor should treat tab/spaces and other settings. Since TortoiseMerge can also edit files, it can use the config files in editorconfig format and act accordingly.
