Mounting a CVS Filesystem

When you have installed CVS and you have a CVS repository and working directory, you can mount the working directory as a filesystem in the IDE.

To mount a CVS filesystem:

  1. In the Explorer, select the Filesystems tab, right-click the Filesystems node, and choose Mount CVS.

  2. Step through the CVS Setup wizard to set up the filesystem.

    Once you have completed the wizard, a new CVS filesystem node appears on the Filesystems tab in the Explorer.

  3. If the CVS repository you have connected to in the setup wizard has not been initialized, right-click the new CVS filesystem node, and choose CVS Init.

  4. If the working directory is new (nothing has been checked out to it), right-click the CVS filesystem node and choose CVS Checkout.
