Filtering in the CVS Resource History View

Over time, the revision history for a file can grow drastically. As a result, it may be difficult to find the revision or revisions that you are looking for. Using the filtering mechanism of the CVS Resource History view can help.

To set a filter on the CVS Resource History view:

  1. Select the Filter History action from the local toolbar of the CVS Resource History view.
  2. Enter any author, comment or date range that you want to restrict the view to displaying.
  3. Click OK.

The view will now display only those revisions that match the criteria you entered.

Tip: You can remove a date range filter by selecting the first item ("---") in the date and month fields.

Tip: You can choose whether the filter should match any or all of the criteria by selecting the appropriate radio button in the dialog.
