NAME
       SVK::Help::Environment - A list of svk's environment variables

DESCRIPTION
       A number of system environment variables influence how svk runs. Below
       is a complete list of variables you can use to alter svk's behavior.

       $SVKROOT
           Unless you tell it otherwise, svk stores your configuration and
           repository in $HOME/.svk.  If you set SVKROOT to a path on disk,
           svk will look there instead of in $HOME/.svk.

       $SVNEDITOR / $EDITOR
           Sometimes, svk needs to pop up a text editor. svk first tries to
           launch the editor specified in $SVNEDITOR and falls back to
           $EDITOR if that's not defined.

       $SVKDIFF
           If you'd prefer to use an external "diff" tool instead of svk's
           builtin diff library, set this variable to your tool's name or
           path.

       $SVKMERGE
           svk lets you resolve conflicts, interactively, with a text editor
           or use an external diff tool.  Out of the box, svk comes with
           support for the following merge tools:

            AraxisMerge
            Emacs
            FileMerge
            GtkDiff
            Guiffy
            GVim
            KDiff3
            Meld
            P4WinMerge
            TkDiff
            TortoiseMerge
            Vim
            XXDiff

           If you want svk to spawn a specific merge tool, set this variable
           to the tool's name.

       $SVKLOGLEVEL
           The lowest log level that svk will present to the user. The log
           levels are: DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR and FATAL. The default log
           level is INFO; this includes progress messages for long-running
           commands (such as sync). For non-interactive use (such as for cron
           jobs) it might be useful to set $SVKLOGLEVEL to WARN.

       $SVKRESOLVE
           If you set this variable, svk's interactive resolver will always
           perform the command it's set to. For more details about the
           commands available in svk's interactive resolver, type "perldoc
           SVK::Resolve".

       $SVKMIME
           Indicates which module is used for automatically detecting the MIME
           types of files.  Implementations included with core SVK are:
           "File::LibMagic", "File::MMagic", "File::Type" and "Internal".  The
           value "Internal" means to use SVK's own internal MIME detection
           algorithm which requires no external modules.  This poor, but fast
           algorithm simply assigns "application/octet-stream" to anything
           that looks binary.  If $SVKMIME has no value, "Internal" is used.

       $SVKPAGER
           When svk needs to pipe long output through a pager, it uses
           $SVKPAGER to send the output to your display.  If this variable is
           not set or set to something that's not executable, the output will
           not be paged.  svk ignores your $PAGER setting, so you must
           explicitly set $SVKPAGER if you want paging.

       $SVKLOGOUTPUT
           By specifying this variable, you change the default output filter
           used by the "svk log" command.  The value of this variable can be
           anything that you can pass to "svk log"'s "-output" option.

       $SVKPGP
           svk supports signing and verifying changesets using the Gnu Privacy
           Guard.  By default, svk tries to run the first program called ggppgg
           in your path. To tell svk to use a specific gpg executable, set
           this variable to the executable's name or path.

       $SVNFSTYPE
           By default, svk creates its local repository as a ffssffss repository
           when running on Subversion 1.1 and newer. On Subversion 1.0, SVK
           defaults to bbddbb.  To explicitly specify a repository type, set this
           variable to ffssffss or bbddbb.

       $SVKNORAREPLAY
           By default, svk tries to make use of the replay api provided by
           Subversion if available.  You can turn this environment variable on
           to tell svk not to do so.  svk will then use the old "SVN::Mirror"
           module to do mirroring.

       $SVKSVNBACKTRACE
           (For debugging use only.) If this environment variable is set to a
           true value, any error message which comes from the Subversion
           libraries will be accompanied by a stack backtrace.

       WWiinn3322

       These variables only apply to svk on Windows.

       $ProgramFiles
           Set this variable to the directory you install programs into. It
           defaults to 'C:\Program Files'.
