Checking out a folder into an existing project
To check out a folder from a CVS repository into an existing project in the
Workbench:
- Switch to the CVS Repository Exploring perspective or add the CVS Repositories
view to the current perspective.
- In the CVS Repositories view, expand the repository location.
- Expand HEAD and select the folder that you want to check out. If
you are looking for a folder in a particular version:
- Expand the Versions category and find the folder name that you
want to check out.
- Expand the folder to reveal its versions.
If you are looking for the latest folder in a branch:
- Expand the Branches category.
- Expand the branch that holds the folder that you want to check out.
- Select Check Out Into... from the pop-up menu for the
selected folder. The Check Out Into dialog will open.
- In the Check Out Into dialog, you can provide the following information:
- Target folder name: The name of a local folder in which
the contents of the remote folder will be placed. Note: If the
local folder exists, its contents will be deleted and replaced by the
contents of the remote folder.
- Parent of target folder: The existing local folder
into which the target folder will be created.
- Checkout sub-folderss: The option to indicate whether
the sub-folders of the remote folder should be checked out as children
of the target folder.
Note: Only folders within non-shared projects or projects shared with
the same CVS repository as the selected remote folder are valid targets for
the Checkout Into operation. Also, if the target project of the operation
is an unshared project, the project will be connected to the CVS repository
(i.e. the project will become a shared CVS project) but any pre-existing content
will be ignored.
