Working with Tags (CVS)

It is often helpful to tag version controlled files for reference purposes, when you want to mark the point a particular branch was made, for example. Using the CVS Tag command you can attach an existing tag to a file or folder or create a new tag.

To apply a tag to a file or directory:

  1. Right-click the file or folder and choose CVS > Tag.
  2. Enter the tag name in the text field. Alternately, you can click Browse to choose from a list of existing tags.
  3. If you want to ensure that the tag is not attached to local revisions that are not up to date, select the Avoid Tagging Locally Modified Files checkbox.
  4. If you want to move an existing tag to the current revision in your local working directory, select the Move Existing Tags checkbox.
    The IDE attaches the tag on the specified file or directory.
