Calling CVS Commands

To call a CVS command on a file or package:

The IDE's built-in CVS client and CVS command-line support vary in the way that they present command options. By default when calling a CVS command using the IDE's built-in CVS client (CVS Client filesystems), you are prompted with a dialog box showing all available command options. On directories mounted using the IDE's CVS command-line support (CVS filesystems), you are prompted only with a list of basic options or no options. You can change the default behavior for both types of filesystems.

Options for Commands on CVS Client Filesystems

On CVS Client filesystems, you have these choices for calling commands with options:

To set the type of prompt for CVS Client filesystems:

  1. Right-click the filesystem's root node, and choose Properties from the contextual menu.
  2. Set the User Interface Mode property.

Options for Commands on CVS Filesystems

To be prompted for all options on a CVS filesystem:

  1. Right-click the filesystem's root node, and choose Properties from the contextual menu.
  2. Set the Advanced Options property to True.

    This setting only applies the filesystem that it was set on.
