| <h1> CVS Repositories view</h1> |
| |
| <p class="Para">The CVS Repositories view, which is part of the CVS Repository |
| Exploring perspective, shows the CVS repository locations that you have |
| added to your Workbench. Expanding a location reveals the main trunk |
| (HEAD), project versions and branches in that repository. You can further |
| expand the project versions and branches to reveal the folders and files |
| contained within them. </p> |
| |
| <p>The pop-up menu for this view also allows you to specify new repository |
| locations. Use the CVS Repositories view to check out resources from |
| the repository to the Workbench, configure the branches and versions |
| shown by the view, view resource history, and compare resource versions. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p class="Para"> Here is what the Repositories view looks like:</p> |

| |
| <div class="Topic"> |
| <p>Like other views in the Workbench, the CVS Repositories view has its own |
| toolbar. Toolbar buttons are provided for refreshing the view and for navigating. |
| The toolbar also contains a drop-down menu that allows the user to filter |
| the view by working set.</p> |
| |
| <h2>Titlebar</h2> |
| |
| <h3>Go Home</h3> |
| |
| <p class="Para"> This command redraws the view, showing the repository locations.</p> |
| </div> |
| |
| <div class="Topic"> |
| <h3> Go Back</h3> |
| |
| <p class="Para"> This command redraws the view, showing the hierarchy that |
| was displayed immediately prior to the current display.</p> |
| </div> |
| |
| <div class="Topic"> |
| <h3> Go Forward</h3> |
| |
| <p class="Para"> This command redraws the view, showing the hierarchy that |
| was displayed immediately after the current display.</p> |
| </div> |
| |
| <div class="Topic"> |
| <h3> Refresh View</h3> |
| |
| <p class="Para"> This command refreshes the contents of the Repositories view.</p> |
| <h3>Collapse All</h3> |
| <p class="Para"> This command collapses all expanded entries in the Repositories |
| view.</p> |
| </div> |
| |
| <h3 class="Para">Drop-Down Menu</h3> |
| |
| <p class="Para">The drop down menu in the title bar allows the repositories view |
| to be filtered by a working set.</p> |
| |
| <h2 class="Para">Context menu </h2> |
| |
| <p class="Para">From the context menu of the Repositories view you can perform |
| a number of interesting operations. </p> |
| |
| <h3> New > Repository Location </h3> |
| |
| <p class="Para"> This command brings up the wizard to help you specify a new repository |
| location.</p> |
| |
| <h3>Configure Branches and Versions</h3> |
| |
| <p class="Para"> This command brings up the wizard to help you discover the branch |
| and version tags that exist in the repository for the selected folder so they |
| can be added to the repositories view to allow the resources that have these |
| tags can be browsed.</p> |
| <h3>Refresh Branches and Versions</h3> |
| <p class="Para"> This command, available on repository location entries, allows |
| you to refresh the list of known branches and versions that are displayed in |
| the repositories view for selected projects. This operation makes use of the |
| defined auto-refresh files for each project. If the operation fails for a particular |
| project, use Configure Branches and Versions on the project to select one or |
| more appropriate refresh files.</p> |
| <h3>Add to Branch List...</h3> |
| <p> This command adds the selected project to the list of projects that are displayed |
| under the specified branch in the repositories view. This command only modifies |
| the repositories view and does not effect the repository in any way. If you |
| want to add the project to a branch, you can perform a <strong>Tag with Existing</strong> |
| after performing this operation.</p> |
| <h3> Open</h3> |
| |
| <p> This command opens the selected file in an editor. Since file revisions |
| in the repository are immutable, the editor opens in a read-only state, |
| so it is not modifiable. </p> |
| |
| <h3> Show in Resource History</h3> |
| |
| <p> This command shows the revision history of the selected file in the CVS |
| Resource History view.</p> |
| |
| <h3> Compare</h3> |
| |
| <p class="Para">This command will compare on two or three selected resources.</p> |
| <h3>Compare With...</h3> |
| <p class="Para">This command will compare the selected folder with a branch or |
| version of the same folder.</p> |
| <h3>Checkout as Project</h3> |
| |
| <p>This command checks the folder out into a project in the Workbench with |
| the same name as the folder.</p> |
| |
| <h3>Checkout as...</h3> |
| |
| <p>This command checks the folder out into a project in the Workbench into a project |
| configured by the user.</p> |
| <h3>Checkout Into...</h3> |
| <p>This command checks the folder out as a sub-folder of an existing project.</p> |
| <h3>Checkout Out Module</h3> |
| <p>This command checks out the selected module into one or more projects in the |
| workspace. </p> |
| <h3>Tag as Version...</h3> |
| |
| <p> This command versions the selected resource based on the current branch |
| contents.</p> |
| |
| <h3>Tag with Existing...</h3> |
| |
| <p> This command versions the selected resource based on the current branch |
| contents, moving the tag from previously tagged resources if required.</p> |
