| <H1>Discovering branch and version tags</H1> |
| |
| <p><em>Prerequisite:</em>Before you can discover the branch and version tags for |
| a repository, you must have a valid repository location in the CVS Repositories |
| view. </p> |
| <P>To discover existing branch tags for multiple folders in a single repository |
| location:</p> |
| <ol> |
| <li>Switch to the |
| <a class="command-link" href='javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.perspectives.showPerspective(org.eclipse.ui.perspectives.showPerspective.perspectiveId=org.eclipse.team.cvs.ui.cvsPerspective)")'> |
| <img src="PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.help/command_link.svg" alt="command link"> |
| CVS Repository Exploring</a> perspective or add the |
| <a class="command-link" href='javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.views.showView(org.eclipse.ui.views.showView.viewId=org.eclipse.team.ccvs.ui.RepositoriesView)")'> |
| <img src="PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.help/command_link.svg" alt="command link"> |
| CVS Repositories</a> view to the current perspective.</li> |
| <li>In the CVS Repositories view, select a repository location.</li> |
| <li>From the pop-up menu for the CVS Repositories view, select <b>Refresh Branches</b>. |
| The Refresh Branches dialog will open (depending on the repository location selected |
| listed remote projects can differ): |
| <p> <img src="../images/cvs_refresh_branches.png" alt="Refresh Branches dialog" border="0"></p> |
| </li> |
| <li>In the folder list, select the folders whose tags you would like to refresh. |
| Alternatively, at the bottom of the dialog, you can choose a working set and |
| all remote folders whose names match the name of a project in the working |
| set will become checked.</li> |
| <li>Click <b>Finish</b> to discovered the tags for the checked projects. These |
| tags will be added to the repositories view. </li> |
| </ol> |
| <P><em>Note:</em> This operation may be long running especially if the number |
| of selected folders is large. </p> |
| <P><em>Tip</em>: If the above operation does not result in the discovery of any |
| tags, it is probable that the folder in the repository does not have a .project |
| file in it. The .project file is the default file used by the tag discovery |
| process. The file can be changed for individual projects using <strong>Configure |
| Branches and Versions</strong> (see below).</p> |
| <P>To discover existing branch and version tags for a single project folder: </p> |
| <ol> |
| <li>Switch to the |
| <a class="command-link" href='javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.perspectives.showPerspective(org.eclipse.ui.perspectives.showPerspective.perspectiveId=org.eclipse.team.cvs.ui.cvsPerspective)")'> |

| <img src="PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.help/command_link.svg" alt="command link"> |
| CVS Repositories</a> view to the current perspective.</li> |
| <li>In the CVS Repositories view, expand the repository location.</li> |
| <li>Expand <strong>HEAD</strong> and select the root folder whose tags are to |
| be discovered.</li> |
| <li>From the pop-up menu for the CVS Repositories view, select <b>Configure |
| Branches and Versions</b>. The Tag Configuration dialog similar to the one below will open. |
| <p> <img src="../images/cvs_configure_branches_and_versions.png" alt="Project Explorer view" border="0"></p> |
| </li> |
| <li>In the top pane on the left (titled <i>Browse files for tags</i>), expand |
| one or more projects to find a file that is known to have tags that should |
| be added to the CVS Repositories view.</li> |
| <li>Select a file in the left top pane. If the file selected has tags defined |
| on it, they will be displayed in the right top pane (titled <i>New tags found |
| in selected files</i>).</li> |
| <li>Check or uncheck the tags in the right pane as desired.</li> |
| <li>Click <b>Add Checked Tags</b> to add the checked tags to the list of remembered |
| tags.</li> |
| <li>Click <b>OK</b> to add the remembered tags to the selected repository location |
| or project.</li> |
| </ol> |
| <p><em>Note</em>: You can also set the auto-refresh files by selecting a file |
| in the files pane and clicking<strong> Add Selected Files</strong> in the lower |
| right hand portion of the dialog. </p> |
