Adjusting CVS Settings in the IDE
See Also
The IDE enables you to make changes to CVS settings, such as:
- applying arbitrary metadata to files or directories by adding, removing,
or modifying the status label format of versioning labels for versioned
files
- adjusting CVS settings in the IDE, such as excluding new files from
commit actions automatically
- limiting the number of characters per line in commit messages
To change the status label format for versioned files:
- In the Status Label Format text box, enter the format in which you want
the status labels to be displayed. You can enter your own label(s),
otherwise specify a CVS-reserved label by clicking
Add Variable and selecting
from the available options.
- In order to make versioning labels visible, choose View from the main menu,
then select the Show Versioning Labels option. Versioning labels display in
light grey text to the immediate right of versioned files in the Projects,
Files, Favorites windows.
To automatically exclude new files from commit actions:
- Select the Apply "Exclude from Commit" On New Files
Automatically option. When selected, newly created files will
have to be manually included in commit actions.
To limit the number of characters per line in commit messages:
- Select the Wrap Commit Messages To (characters) option.
- In the adjacent text box, enter the number of characters to indicate the
length of each line. Commit messages longer than the specified number of
characters will be wrapped to multiple lines.
