| <h3>Commiting changes to existing files</h3> |
| <ol> |
| <li>Edit some existing files in a CVS project |
| <li>Choose Team>Commit on the project from the Navigator |
| <li>The commit dialog should show a preview of the files that are to be committed and allow a commit comment to be entered. |
| </ol> |
| <p> |
| Some things to try: |
| <ul> |
| <li>Committing a project (or selected resources) that contain no changes will prompt to indicate this. |
| <li>Files can be removed from the preview area and these will be excluded from the commit. |
| <li>Clicking OK without entering a comment should prompt. |
| <li>Emptying the preview area will disable the Finish and show a "no changes" message. |
| <li>Try different page layouts (compressed, tree and flat) |
| </ul> |
| |
| <h3>Commiting new files</h3> |
| <ol> |
| <li>Add a few new files to a project including some with unknown extensions and some with no extensions. |
| <li>Choose Team>Commit on the project from the Navigator |
| <li>The first page of the commit wizard will allow you to configure the file types for any new files whose content type |
| cannot be determined. |
| <ul> |
| <li>Configure some to be remembered and others to be only applied to this commit (verify after that this was done properly) |
| </ul> |
| <li>Click Next and verify that the content type was determined properly. |
| <li>Choose to ignore one of the files and verify that the file is removed and the .cvsignore appears. |
| </ol> |
| |
| <h3>Commiting files contained in a Change Set</h3> |
| <ol> |
| <li>From the Synchronize view, select all the changes from the same Change Set. |
| <li>Choose Commit and verify that the comment in the commit dialog is the one from the change Set. |
| </ol> |
