You can use CVS to ensure that when you delete a method or process element, the dependent files are appropriately version-controlled.
These steps apply to elements such as roles, tasks, work products,
guidance, categories, configurations, capability patterns, and delivery processes.
- Open the Authoring perspective.
- Use the tree browser to choose the element you want to delete.
- Right-click the element and select Delete from the submenu.
- In the Send an Edit Notification to CVS dialog box, click Yes to lock the needed files. If a file is currently being edited by another user a dialog box appears with the option to continue or not. To avoid having to merge the files later, click No and stop deleting that element.
- Click File > Save.
- Switch to the Team Synchronizing perspective.
- Make sure the element you deleted in Step 4 is listed along with other dependent files.
- Select the top-level folder for your project and click Commit.
