Calling CVS Commands
The CVS commands submenu contains all the available CVS commands for the currently selected
file or package. You can access the CVS commands submenu in any of the following ways:
- In the Explorer, right-click the file node or package node and select CVS.
- In the Versioning Explorer, right-click the file node or package node and
select CVS. The CVS commands submenu is available only on the working copy
node of each file.
- Select a CVS node in the Explorer and choose Versioning
CVS
from the main window.
- Right-click a file in the Source Editor and choose CVS.
- Right-click a file's node in the VCS Groups window and choose CVS. To run
a command on an entire group, right-click the group's root node and choose
the command from the CVS submenu.
Setting Advanced CVS Command Options
By default, the IDE does not present you with advanced command options when
calling CVS commands. These commands either execute immediately or prompt you
to enter basic options. For each filesystem, you can determine which options
each command prompts you for.
To set the type of prompt for built-in CVS client filesystems:
- Right-click the filesystem's root node and choose Properties.
- Set the User Interface Mode property. You can select from the following
options:
- GUI Style. A dialog box presents you with descriptions of
all of the available options, which you can select with checkboxes and
other graphical user interface elements.
- Command-Line Style. A dialog box presents a text field,
where you can type the options.
- Only Default Switches. (Default) For some commands only
commonly used options are presented, and for other commands no options
are presented.
To set prompting for all options on a CVS command-line filesystem:
- Right-click the filesystem's root node and choose Properties.
- 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
Control key while choosing commands from the CVS commands menu. |
