Hello.
I've very familiar with CVS from the command line. However, I don't
know of a synchronize command. What exactly does Eclipse's synchronize
command do? Is is some special update that doesn't pull down anything
except list of files that would be updated?
Thanks

The beauty of Synchronize is that it only queries your repository; no
changes are made unless you explicitly invoke them from the Synchronize
view (e.g., right-click an out-going change and choose Commit).
Even if you didn't believe that, you could create a label or branch and
test it out without fear; or create a dummy project/module in your
repository to play around with. But as I said, that would be totally
unnecessary since Eclipse won't do anything to your repository unless
you tell it to.

Sure. Select the file you're interested in, right-click and choose
Team > Show History. That will open the History view, where you can
select any two versions and compare them with each other via
right-click.
Hope this helps,
Eric
