Replacing resources in the Workbench
To replace Workbench resources with versions in the repository:
- Select a resource in the Navigator view.
- From the resource's pop-up menu, select one of the following menu items:
- Replace With > Latest From <Branch Name> or <Version>
- replace the Workbench resource with the latest resources currently committed
to the branch that the local project is shared with or if the local project
is checked out as a version then replace with the same version.
- Replace With > Another Branch or Version - replace the Workbench
resource with a specific version or branch that you select in the repository.
When you select this option, another window opens, so that you can browse
through the branch and version tags in the repository and select the one
that you want.
- Replace With > Revision - (available only on a file) replace
the Workbench file with another revision of the file. When you select
this option, a dialog opens to allow you to select a revision from the
list of available ones. A test window displays the comparison between
the local revision and the selected remote revision.
- Team > Update - update will replace Workbench resources
with those on the tag specified in the Update dialog. The behavior differs
from the above replace operations in that uncommitted modifications in
the Workbench are not replaced but instead are "moved" to the
resources from the selected tag. For more details on the specifics of
this operation, see the CVS documentation at www.cvshome.org
relating to the use of the -r option with cvs update.
Tip: When replacing with a branch or version or when updating, you
can specify a particular date instead of a a version or branch tag. This can
be done by right clicking on the Dates category in the tag
selection list and choosing Add Date. A Date Tag dialog is
displayed that allows you to specify a date and optionally a time. After you
click Ok, the date tag will appear in the tag selection list.
