Number of context lines in the diff dialog. For the diff dialog, Cervisia uses the option -U to diff. This lets diff show only a limited number of lines around each difference region. Here you can set the argument to -U.
Additional options for cvs diff. Here you can add additional arguments to the diff. A popular example is -b which lets diff ignore changes in the amount of whitespace.
Tab width in diff dialog. In the diff dialog, tab characters present in your file or in the output of the diff command are expanded into a fixed number of space characters. By default, each tab is replaced by eight spaces, but here you can setup a different number.
External diff frontend. When you use any of the features which show the diff dialog, like View->Difference to Repository..., Cervisia invokes its internal diff frontend. If you prefer a different one, like Kompare, TkDiff, or xxdiff, you can configure this here.
Start File->Status automatically. When you check this option, the File->Status command is started whenever you open a sandbox. As this command may need some time and also needs a connection to the server for remote repositories (making it unusable for offline usage), you can set this option separately for local and remote repositories.
Timeout after which a progress dialog appears. Practically all CVS commands started in a sandbox which belongs to a remote repository need a connection to the CVS server. This is affected by delays from the network connection or a high load on the server. For this reason, for commands like View->Difference to repository... Cervisia opens a dialog which indicates that the command is still running and which allows you to abort it. Furthermore, this dialog is used to show you error messages from CVS. As this dialog may become annoying after some time, it is shown only after a certain timeout which is 4 seconds by default. Here you can change this value.
Default compression level. The cvs client compresses files and patches when they are transferred over a network. With the command line option -z, the compression level can be set. You can setup Cervisia to use this option by configuring the level here. The value set here is used only as a default; additionally there is a per-repository setting available in Repository->Repositories....
