CVS Root & Repository [message #161279] Thu, 27 May 2004 15:28 Go to next message

Two bugs with CVS in M9 build:

One developer just added new java package (read: directory) to CVS module
and after update-ing a project from Eclipse I noticed that it created in CVS
directory only Entries and Entries.Extra fils.
Eclipse obviously doesn't neep Root and Repository files, but command line
client does (it reports an error so I created filed by hand)

Another thing is that "Consider file contents in comparisons" doesn't work.
This can be easily reproduced: just open Java file, add blank, Save, Delete
blank, Save. File content is (obviously) identical but Eclipse still reports
it as modified, even though file content comparison is turned on in
Team->CVS.

This is pretty serious. I, too, need to occasionally use the CVS command
line client. Old habits are hard to break.

BTW, I don't know if this is fixed in M9, but if a file is in CVS in LF
('\n') mode, Eclipse stores the working copy on disk (on XP) in CRLF
(\r\n) mode. This sucks. When I do a 'cvs diff' from the command line,
the -b option appears to give me reasonable results. But I like to do
things like run perl scripts over my entire source tree to make global
changes (like inserting copyright notices). If I have any files that
have not been commited, things can get nasty. My alternative has been
to checkout another tree, process it and commit, then cvs-update inside
of Eclipse. Again, This Sucks. I'd like to have an option somewhere
that controls how Eclipse stores working files (Native, Unix, or Windows
mode). I assume that it uses Native mode for storage.

It may be time I bite the bullet and download M9. Or wait for RC1 which
is scheduled for next week, I think.
