| <h1 class="Head">Setting the CVS keyword substitution mode</h1> |
| <p>CVS uses the keyword substitution mode of a file to differentiate binary files from ASCII files and to indicate |
| what type of keyword substitution is to take place when files are committed and checked out.</p> |
| <p>To set the CVS keyword substitution mode:</p> |
| <ol> |
| <li>In one of the navigation views, select the files or containing folders for which a change in keyword |
| substitution mode is desired. <b>Note</b>: Ensure that any new files that are to be committed are added to CVS |
| version control as the keyword substitution mode can only be set for files that are already under CVS control.</li> |
| <li>From the pop-up menu, select <b>Team > Change ASCII/Binary Property</b>. The Set Keyword Substitution Mode |
| wizard will open.</li> |
| <li>The wizard contains a list of all founds found in the selection. On this page, you can do the following: |
| <ul> |
| <li>You can enter a file pattern to filter the list of files.</li> |
| <li>You can change the mode for files individually.</li> |
| <li>You can select multiple files and change the mode for the all using the drop down at the bottom of the |
| page.</li> |
| <li>You can select multiple files and click <strong>Propose</strong> which determines the mode based on your |
| preference settings.</li> |
| <li>You can check the <em>Only show those files that will be changed</em> option to see only the files whose |
| mode has been changed in the wizard.</li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| <li>When you are done specifying the new modes for any files, enter the commit comment to be associated with any |
| file commits. Files will need to be committed if changing the file type from Binary to ASCII results in a change in |
| the file content due to line terminator adjustments. Click <b>Finish</b> to apply the changes.</li> |
| </ol> |
