| </THEAD> |
| <TR> |
| <TD valign="top" align="left"> Prune empty directories</TD> |
| <TD valign="top" align="left"> Use this option to specify the pruning of empty |
| directories on update and in the synchronization view. Although pruned directories |
| aren't shown in the workbench there is actually still an empty directory |
| in the repository. This is helpful because CVS doesn't provide a client |
| with the ability to remove directories from the server.</TD> |
| <TD>Enabled </TD> |
| </TR> |
| <TR> |
| <TD valign="top" align="left"> Consider file contents in comparison</TD> |
| <TD valign="top" align="left"> Use this option to set the default compare |
| method for comparing and synchronizing CVS resources. By default, time stamps |
| are used to compare CVS files, and this is by far the fastest method. However, |
| in some cases a more accurate comparison can be achieved by comparing file |
| content. This setting can also be toggled from within a compare editor or |
| the synchronization view.</TD> |
| <TD>Disabled </TD> |
| </TR> |
| <TR> |
| <TD valign="top" align="left"> Show deleted file markers</TD> |
| <TD valign="top" align="left"> Use this option to enable markers to be added |
| to the task view for resources that have been locally removed but not committed. |
| This is useful for users who prefer update/commit instead of using the synchronize |
| view. The deleted tasks allow quick fix options for committing the deletion |
| to the server.</TD> |
| <TD>Enabled </TD> |
| </TR> |
| <TR> |
| <TD valign="top" align="left">Delete unmanaged resources on replace </TD> |
| <TD valign="top" align="left">Use this option to allows resources not under |
| CVS control to be deleted when replacing with resources from the repository. |
| </TD> |
| <TD>Enabled </TD> |
| </TR> |
| <TR> |
| <TD valign="top" align="left">Treat all new files as binary </TD> |
| <TD valign="top" align="left">Use this option to override the file content |
| settings and treat all new files as binary. </TD> |
| <TD>Disabled </TD> |
| </TR> |
| <TR> |
| <TD valign="top" align="left">Validate server version compatibility on first |
| connection </TD> |
| <TD valign="top" align="left">Use this option to enable a query of the CVS |
| server version on the first connection to determine server compatibility. |
| The server version will be output to the console and if an incompatibility |
| is detected a warning message will be logged when connecting. </TD> |
| <TD>Enabled </TD> |
| </TR> |
| <TR> |
| <TD valign="top" align="left">Communication timeout </TD> |
| <TD valign="top" align="left">Use this option to configure the amount of time |
| in seconds to wait before timing out from a connection to the CVS server. |
| </TD> |
| <TD>60 seconds </TD> |
| </TR> |
| <TR> |
| <TD valign="top" align="left">Quietness level </TD> |
| <TD valign="top" align="left">Sets the amount of status information CVS prints |
| for a command. In <STRONG>Somewhat quiet</STRONG> mode the printing of unimportant |
| informational messages is suppressed. The consideration of what is important |
| depends on each command. In <STRONG>Very quiet</STRONG> mode all output |
| except what is absolutely necessary to complete the command is suppressed. |
| In <STRONG>Very Quiet</STRONG> mode, some CVS servers may not communicate |
| important information about errors that have occurred. You may want to consider |
| using <STRONG>Somewhat quiet</STRONG> mode instead. </TD> |
| <TD>Verbose </TD> |
| </TR> |
| <TR> |
| <TD valign="top" align="left">Default keyword substitution </TD> |
| <TD valign="top" align="left">Use this option to set the default keyword substitution |
| for text files. </TD> |
| <TD>ASCII with keyword expansion -kkv </TD> |
| </TR> |
| <TR> |
| <TD valign="top" align="left">Save dirty editors before CVS operations </TD> |
| <TD valign="top" align="left"> Use this option to configure what happens when |
| there are open editors with unsaved changes when a CVS operation is performed. |
| Options are: |
| <P><STRONG>Never</STRONG></P> |
| <P>Continue CVS operations even if there are unsaved changes in open editors.</P> |
| <P><STRONG>Prompt</STRONG></P> |
| <P>Ask the user what to do with unsaved changes in open editors.</P> |
| <P><STRONG>Auto-save</STRONG></P> |
| <p>Automatically save unsaved changes in open editors before each CVS operation.</p></TD> |

| {user}. It can be tailored using the {host}, {user}, {password} and {port} |
| variables.</TD> |
| <TD>{host} -l {user} |
| </TD> |
| </TR> |
| <TR> |
| <TD valign="top" align="left">CVS_SERVER |
| </TD> |

| |
| <TD valign="top" align="left"> Use the options on this page to configure general |
| preferences about the decorators: |
| <P><STRONG>Compute deep outgoing state for folders</STRONG></P> |
| <P>Use this option to configure if the outgoing indicators on folders |
| should be calculated. Disabling this option improves the performance |
| of the decorators because calculating the dirty state for folders requires |
| computing the dirty state for all child resources. (<EM>enabled by default</EM>)</P> |

| <P>Use this option to show the synchronization state of a resource in the |
| text label. This is useful for accessibility requirements. If you are |
| using a UI text reader, than enabling this option will allow the text |
| reader to correctly interpret the states shown in the view. Ordinarily synchronization states are shown using icon decorations.</P> |
