CVS: Versioning Window

See Also

The Versioning window presents a real-time view of the changes in selected directories. It opens at the bottom of the IDE whenever you view changes made in version-controlled files.

To open the Versioning window, choose Window > Versioning (Ctrl-8) from the main menu. The Versioning window opens automatically when you choose CVS > Show All Changes from the main menu. Alternately, you can right-click any project, directory, or file that is in a CVS working directory and choose CVS > Show Changes.

By default, the Versioning window displays a list of all modified files within the selected package or folder. Using the buttons in the toolbar, you can choose to display all changes or limit the list of displayed files to either locally or remotely modified files. You can click the column headings above the listed files to sort the files by name, status or location.

The Versioning window toolbar also includes buttons that enable you to invoke the most common CVS tasks on all files displayed in the list. The following table lists the CVS commands available in the toolbar of the Versioning window:

Icon Description
Refresh Status iconRefresh Status.
Diff All iconDiff All.
Update All iconUpdate All.
Commit All iconCommit All.

You can access CVS commands in the Versioning window by right-clicking the file and choosing a command in the pop-up window. You can also specify files that you want to exclude from a commit or to ignore altogether by right-clicking the file and then choosing Exclude from Commit or Ignore.
