The following scenario represents how a user would reconnect a
project that does not contain CVS meta-data to it's remote counterpart.
It is assumed that the local project was derived from a previous version
of the remote project but both the local project and the remote may have
been modified since then.
Scenario 1: Existing location using project name
Perform the following steps:
- Load an existing project (using Checkout or you could import a
plug-in project from the target area).
- Disconnect the project and indicate that CVS meta-data is to
be deleted.
- Modify some local resources.
- Optionally, modify the remote contents of some resources using
a separate checkout.
- Perform a Team>Share Project and select CVS (if there is more
than one repository provider available).
- Select the repository the project was loaded from and click
Next.
- Use the project name as the module name. Click Next.
- In the tag page, select HEAD as the branch to share with and
click Next.
- In the sharing page, only the files that do not have the same
contents as the server should appear. Perform a Mark as Merged or
Commit on these files.
- Click Finish.
Scenario 1: New location using custom module name
Perform the following steps:
- Load an existing project using Checkout As and a different
name.
- Disconnect the project and indicate that CVS meta-data is to
be deleted.
- Discard the repository location.
- Modify some local resources.
- Optionally, modify the remote contents of some resources using
a separate checkout
- Perform a Team>Share Project and select CVS (if there is more
than one repository provider available).
- Select to create a new repository and click Next.
- Enter the repository information for the repository and click
Next.
- Enter the name of the module that the project was loaded from.
Click Next.
- In the tag page, select HEAD as the branch to share with and
click Next.
- In the sharing page, only the files that do not have the same
contents as the server should appear. Perform a Mark as Merged or
Commit on these files.
- Click Finish.
