| The following scenario represents how a user would reconnect a project that does |
| not contain CVS meta-data to it's remote counterpart. It is assumed that the local project |
| was derived from a previous version of the remote project but both the local project and |
| the remote may have been modified since then. |
| </p> |
| <p>Perform the following steps:</p> |
| <ol> |
| <li>Load an existing project (using Checkout or some other means)</li> |
| <li>Disconnect the project and indicate that CVS meta-data is to be deleted</li> |
| <li>Modify some local resources</li> |
| <li>Optionally, modify the remote contents of some resources using a separate checkout</li> |
| <li>Perform a Team>Share Project and select CVS (if there is more than one |
| repository provider available).</li> |
| <li>Select the repository the project was loaded from and click OK.</li> |
| <li>You will be prompted that the project already exists. Click Yes to continue. |
| In the next dialog that appears, select HEAD as the branch to share with.</li> |
| <li>Click Finish. This will close the wizard and show the sync view.</li> |
| <li>When the background job is completed, ensure that all folders (except new ones) |
| are marked as in-sync and all files (except new ones) are conflicting additions. |
| <li>Changing the comparison criteria to compare contents should not contact the server |
| and should leave only the resources that differ in the sync view. Perform a |
| Mark As Merged and a Commit on these resources.</li> |
| <li>Changing the comparison criteria back to revision number will reveal all the files |
| whose content did not change, perform a Mark as merged on these resources followed by |
| a Team>Update on the project in the Navigator (Note: This could be handled better).</li> |
| <li>After the update, ensure the project has no out-of-sync resources.</li> |
| </ol> |
