| <h1 class="Head"> CVS Resource History view</h1> |
| |
| <p class="Intro"> This view provides a list of all the revisions of a resource |
| in the repository. From this view you can compare two revisions, replace |
| (get sticky) or revert (get contents) the corresponding workspace file |
| to the revision, or open an editor on a revision. </p> |
| |
| <p class="Para">Here is what the CVS Resource History View looks like:</p> |

| <p class="Para">For each resource, the following is displayed in the table:</p> |
| |
| <div class="Topic"> |
| <h3> Revision</h3> |
| <p class="Para"> This column displays the revision number in the history. </p> |
| </div> |
| |
| <div class="Topic"> |
| <h3>Tags</h3> |
| <p class="Para">The tags that are associated with the revision. Selecting |
| a revision line will list the tags in the lower left pane of the view.</p> |
| </div> |
| |
| <div class="Topic"> |

| </div> |
| |
| <div class="Topic"> |
| <h3> Comment</h3> |
| <p class="Para"> This column displays the comment (if any) supplied for this |
| revision at the time it was committed. Selecting a revision line will |
| show the complete comment in the lower right pane of the view.</p> |
| </div> |
| |
| <h2>Toolbar</h2> |
| |
| <div class="Topic"> |
| <h3>Refresh View</h3> |
| <p class="Para">This command refreshes the contents of the view, |
| fetching the latest history information for the resource from the server.</p> |
| </div> |
| |
| <div class="Topic"> |
| <h3>Link with Editor</h3> |
| <p class="Para">When enabled, the view will display the history for the resource |
| of the active editor.</p> |
| </div> |
| |
| <div class="Topic"> |
| <h3>Filter History</h3> |
| <p class="Para">This command will open a dialog that allows the specification of view filters. |

| <h3>Drop Down Menu</h3> |
| <p class="Para">The drop down menu in the toolbar allows the comment and tag panes to be hidden or shown.</p> |

| |
| <h2 class="Para">Context menu </h2> |
| |
| <p class="Para">From the context menu of the CVS Resource History view you can perform |
| a number of interesting operations.</p> |
| |
| <h3>Get Contents</h3> |
| <p class="Para">This command will load the contents of the selected revision |
| into the local copy of the file whose history |
| is displayed in the view. The local file can then be committed to make |
| the contents of latest revision in HEAD (or a branch) match the contents of |
| the selected revision.</p> |
| |
| <h3>Get Sticky Revision</h3> |
| <p class="Para">This command will load the selected revision over the local |
| file whose history is being displayed. This operation is rarely needed and is |
| mainly used to change the tag on one or more resources. The loaded revision |
| cannot be subsequently committed but can be tagged.</p> |
| |
| <h3>Tag with Existing...</h3> |
| <p class="Para">This command allows an existing tag to be moved to the |
| selected file revision.</p> |
| |
| <h3> Show Annotation</h3> |
| <p> This command shows the contents of file with annotations identifying the author |
| of each line of code in the file.</p> |
| |
| <h3>Compare</h3> |
| <p> This command opens an editor comparing the contents of the two selected revisions.</p> |
| |
| <h3>Open</h3> |
| <p> This command opens an editor displaying the contents of the selected file revision.</p> |
| |
| <h3>Refresh View</h3> |
| <p> This command refreshes the contents of the view.</p> |
