| <H1>Checking out a folder into an existing project</H1> |
| |
| <P>To check out a folder from a CVS repository into an existing project in the |
| Workbench: </P> |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li>Switch to the CVS Repository Exploring perspective or add the CVS Repositories |
| view to the current perspective.</li> |
| <li>In the CVS Repositories view, expand the repository location.</li> |
| <li>Expand <b>HEAD</b> and select the folder that you want to check out. If |
| you are looking for a folder in a particular version: |
| <ol type="a"> |
| <li>Expand the <b> Versions</b> category and find the folder name that you |
| want to check out.</li> |
| <li>Expand the folder to reveal its versions.</li> |
| </ol> |
| <p>If you are looking for the latest folder in a branch:</p> |
| <ol type="a"> |
| <li>Expand the <b> Branches</b> category.</li> |
| <li>Expand the branch that holds the folder that you want to check out.</li> |
| </ol> |
| </li> |
| <li> Select <strong>Check Out Into...</strong> from the pop-up menu for the |
| selected folder. The <em>Check Out Into</em> dialog will open.</li> |
| <li>In the <em>Check Out Into</em> dialog, you can provide the following information: |
| <ol> |
| <li><strong>Target folder name</strong>: The name of a local folder in which |
| the contents of the remote folder will be placed. <em>Note</em>: If the |
| local folder exists, its contents will be deleted and replaced by the |
| contents of the remote folder.</li> |
| <li><strong>Parent of target folder</strong>: The existing local folder |
| into which the target folder will be created.</li> |
| <li><strong>Checkout sub-folders</strong>s: The option to indicate whether |
| the sub-folders of the remote folder should be checked out as children |
| of the target folder.</li> |
| </ol> |
| </li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| <p><em>Note:</em> Only folders within non-shared projects or projects shared with |
| the same CVS repository as the selected remote folder are valid targets for |
| the <em>Checkout Into</em> operation. Also, if the target project of the operation |
| is an unshared project, the project will be connected to the CVS repository |
| (i.e. the project will become a shared CVS project) but any pre-existing content |
| will be ignored.</p> |
