Mounting a Directory With Version Control

To mount a PVCS or VSS directory:

  1. Choose Versioning Mount Generic Version Control System.
  2. In the Configuration dialog box's combo box, choose a profile according to your platform and version control system.
  3. Fill in the settings, such as working directory and relative mount point.
  4. If you need to modify any variables or commands that are set for the profile, click the Advanced tab.
  5. If you make any changes to the variables or commands, click the Configuration tab, click Save As, and then enter a name for the profile.

    You can then later use this profile when mounting other directories that are under the same version control system.

To mount a directory that is under a version control system other than CVS, PVCS, or VSS:

  1. Choose Versioning Mount Generic Version Control System.
  2. In the Configuration dialog box's combo box, choose Empty (Windows) or Empty (Unix) or the profile that best suits your version control system.
  3. Fill in the settings, such as working directory and relative mount point.
  4. Click the Advanced tab to set the variables and commands for your version control system.
  5. Click the Configuration tab, click Save As, and then enter a name for the profile.

    You can then later use this profile when mounting other directories that are under that version control system.

All profiles are stored in XML files in your user directory under <SYSTEM>/vcs/config directory. If you do not know where your IDE user directory is on your system, choose Help About, click Detail, and look at the value for User Dir.
