Advanced CVS Command Options

By default, the IDE does not present you with advanced command options when calling CVS commands. These commands execute immediately or sometimes prompt you to enter basic options. For each filesystem, you can choose which options each command prompts you for.

Command Options on CVS Client Filesystems

On CVS Client filesystems, you have these choices for calling commands with options:

To set the type of prompt for CVS Client filesystems:

  1. Right-click the filesystem's root node, and choose Properties from the contextual menu.
  2. Set the User Interface Mode property.

Command Options on CVS Command-Line Filesystems

To be prompted for all options on a CVS command-line filesystem:

  1. Right-click the filesystem's root node, and choose Properties from the contextual menu.
  2. Set the Advanced Options property to True.
If a CVS filesystem is set to not display advanced command options, you can access the advanced options by holding down the CTRL key while choosing commands from the CVS commands menu.
