Reconfiguring a CVS Filesystem
See Also
You can configure how the IDE works with your CVS filesystems at three levels:
- Filesystem property sheets. These property sheets contain advanced
filesystem settings that affect how the filesystem is displayed in the Explorer
and how it interacts with the CVS repository.
- Filesystem customizers. A CVS filesystem's customizer enables you
to alter the information you previously entered in the New CVS wizard and
set other advanced CVS options.
If you want to change from the
built-in CVS client
to the IDE's CVS command-line support, you must
unmount your CVS filesystem and mount it again setting a
different CVS client in the
New CVS wizard. Also, the CVS command-line executable must be
installed on your system. See
CVS Support
for more information.
- Global version control settings. These settings control the way all
VCS filesystems function in the IDE. You can also configure a set of version
control settings that is specific to the built-in CVS client.

- In the Explorer, right-click the root node of the CVS filesystem.
