Click the Source control button drop-down arrow to access the source control commands. The options available from this menu depend on the status of the file loaded into the File Editor pane and the version control tool you are using.
If you are working with a locked file, click the Source control button drop-down arrow to display the Source control menu shown in Figure 15.1.
The menu options are:
- <Not Editable>
Indicates the status of the file as Locked and so it cannot be edited.
- Raise WinCVS
Starts up the version control tool.
- Prompt before Submitting
Source control commands chosen from the Source control menu are submitted directly for execution. Click this option to display a prompt showing the command before submission, see Setting up a prompt for details.
If you are working with a read-only file, the Source control menu includes:
- Allow Editing
Click to change the status of the file to Read-Write so that it can be edited.
RealView Debugger warns if the contents of the buffer have changed since the file was last saved.
If you are working with an editable file, click the Source control button drop-down arrow to display the Source control menu shown in Figure 15.2.
In this example, the menu options include:
- Make Buffer Read-Only
Changes the status of the file to Read-only so that it cannot be edited.
- Check-In File
Checks the current file into the repository. Selecting this option displays a message dialog box where you can enter a text comment, for example
Updated for new tools env. This is used as the message to identify the check-in, for example:cvs commit -m “Updated for new tools env”filename- UnCheck-Out File
Updates the current file to synchronize it with any changes saved to the repository since it was last checked out or committed, for example:
cvs updatefilenameThe original file is renamed, for example
dhry_1.c.old.- Enter File into Source Control
Adds the current file to the repository, for example:
cvs addfilename- Raise WinCVS
Starts up the version control tool.
- Show Files You have Checked Out
Updates the current file to merge changes. Where a file contains changes, this is roughly equivalent to a checkout command, for example:
cvs -nq updateThis does not complete the update, defined by the
-nflag. It is also quiet (-qflag).- Show Version History
Displays the history information for the current file, for example:
cvs -q log -NfilenameThis does not list tags, defined by the
-Nflag. It is also quiet (-qflag).- Show Changes from Previous Version
Displays differences between the current file and the previous version in the repository, for example:
cvs difffilename- Show Differences of two Versions
Displays differences between two versions of the file currently checked out. Selecting this option displays the first of two prompts where you specify the version numbers to compare, for example:
cvs diff -r 1.1 -r 1.3filename- Show Tags
Displays status information for the current file, including tags, for example:
cvs status -vfilename- File Status
Displays status information for the current file, for example:
cvs statusfilename- Merge Changes
Updates the current file to merge changes. Where a file contains changes this is equivalent to a checkout command, for example:
cvs updatefilenameThis does complete the update.
If you are working with a custom version control tool, that is one that is not supported by RealView Debugger by default, you can specify the commands submitted. These appear as options on the menus described in this section. See Specifying custom commands for details on setting up these custom commands.
