You should probably do an SVN update and look at the end of that file:

# Controls how Swift will communicate the result code of running user programs
# from workers to the submit side. In files mode, a file
# indicating success or failure will be created on the site shared filesystem.
# In provider mode, the execution provider job status will
# be used. Notably, GRAM2 does not return job statuses correctly, and so
# provider mode will not work with GRAM2. With other
# providers, it can be used to reduce the amount of filesystem access compared
# to files mode.

# status.mode=files
