| |
| <P>The CVS plug-in allows you to delete files from the CVS repository. If you |
| delete a managed file and commit the deletion to the server, the file is deleted |
| from the current branch or version. Although the file has been deleted from |
| the current branch, the file and its previous revisions are actually still on |
| the server. The CVS plug-in provides a tool to help restore a file to your workspace |
| that has previously been deleted from the CVS repository:</p> |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li>Select a folder managed by CVS and from the context menu select <strong>Team |
| > Restore from Repository</strong>.</li> |
| <li>The repository will be searched for deleted files and the list will be shown |
| in a dialog.</li> |
| <li>Select a file in the left most pane to display the revisions of the file |
| that are available in the repository.</li> |
| <li>Select a revision in the right-most pane to view the contents in the bottom |
| text pane.</li> |
| <li>Check the revision that you would like to restore.</li> |
| <li>Click <strong>Finish</strong> once you have checked off a revision for each |
| file you wish to restore.</li> |
| <li>After restoring the file if you want to actually restore the file to the |
| current branch you have to add then commit the file back into the repository. |
| If the filename does not change, revision history will be maintained for the |
| restored file.</li> |
| </ol> |
