Defining a CS-CVS Project

Top  Previous  Next

To define a CS-CVS project, follow these steps:

1.   Activate the CS-RCS Properties

2.   Switch to the Projects tab

3.   Click Add... to open the Project Properties dialog.

4.   Specify the desired project name.

5.   Select Repository: CVS Repository.

6.   Specify the desired work folder, for example, C:\Projects. The CVS Module, defined in the CVS Project Parameters dialog is appended automatically to the work folder.

7.   Select the Concurrent Changes (CVS) Work mode. CS-CVS supports Exclusive Lock mode as well. However, the Exclusive Lock mode should be used only when needed as performance may be slow in this mode. Please note that by default, CS-CVS requires reserved checkout to edit binary files in order to prevent merge conflicts. You may disable this feature in the project Advanced tab.

8.   Click Options... to open the CVS Project Parameters dialog.

9.   Specify the CVS repository parameters and click OK. For full details, see CVS Project Parameters.

When the CVS Project Parameters settings are confirmed by CS-CVS, control returns to the Project Properties dialog. Click OK to create the new project. A few seconds delay is expected as CS-RCS initializes the administration files on the server. If you are accessing an existing CS-CVS project, a warning indicating that you are connecting to the project is expected. Click Yes to confirm.
See Working with CS-CVS Projects for more information on how to perform daily operations on CS-CVS projects.
