Setting a Relative Mount Point for a CVS Filesystem

When you mount a CVS filesystem, the Java package root may differ from the CVS root. To ensure proper functioning of the CVS commands, mount the directory at the CVS root. If you mount the CVS filesystem at a level higher than the Java package root, you can set a relative mount point so that the Java classes are handled properly.

The Relative Mount Point panel in the New CVS wizard lets you set one or more relative mount points when you mount a previously checked out working directory.

You can also set multiple relative mount points to access directories that are parallel with the Java package root in your source heirarchy. In the Relative Mount Point panel, hold down the Ctrl key and select each mount point. Each mount point is mounted as its own filesystem in the Explorer.

To set or change the relative mount point in a built-in CVS client filesystem:

  1. In the Explorer, right-click the CVS filesystem's root node and choose Customize.
  2. Click the Rel. Mount Point tab. The tab contains a tree view of the directories in your CVS filesystem.
  3. Select the directory you want to be the relative mount point and click OK.

To set or change the relative mount point in a CVS command-line filesystem:

  1. In the Explorer, right-click the CVS filesystem's root node and choose Customize.
  2. In the Customizer dialog box, click the Browse button next to the Relative Mount Point field.
  3. In the Relative Mount Point Browser, select the directory you want to be the relative mount point and click OK.
  4. Click Close to exit the Customizer dialog box.
